September 14, 2011
By: James B. Wieland, Sarah E. Swank, Carla N. Murphy, and Joshua J. Freemire
The use of social media in health care is here to stay, and increased use has blurred the line between private and public information. Your health care organization's philosophy on social media may vary from your employees' own personal use. Some people post private information on Twitter or Facebook without much consideration for their own privacy or others.
Ober|Kaler presented a webinar providing real world advice about social media issues unique to the health care industry. We discussed potential HIPAA pitfalls of the latest social media technology, as well as how to balance discipline requirements under HIPAA with labor and employment law protections.
Presenters include Ober|Kaler health care and employment lawyers: Jim Wieland, Sarah Swank, Carla Murphy and Josh Freemire.
