Members Encouraged to Be Careful with Public Online Communications
A reminder: Due to reports of some employers successfully disciplining workers over posts to online social networks or blogs, please exercise caution if considering any posts related to residents or clients.
Specifically, members should avoid any identification of clients or residents, including photos, since such a post can lead to a discharge under HIPPA or the Patients' Bill of Rights. More employers are searching for such violations on Facebook, MySpace, blogs and other online forums.
