Social Media Rules for Nurse Aides - Online Inservice
Contact Hours: 1
Cost: $10.00
Even if your employer is following patient privacy rules, staff can create big problems by irresponsibly taking photos of patients, and worse yet, sharing them on social media. In some cases, complaints related to images of wounds and procedures photographed on personal phones and then shared.
Education can prevent violations of patient rights, create a culture of vigilance within an organization, save healthcare providers the cost of fines and settlements (often in 7 figures), and prevent the loss of your certification and employment.
