1. It doesn't hurt anyone's privacy if I share information about patients as long as the post is only accessed by the person I send it to, and they are someone I trust.

3. Any message I make on Social Media is private, and will only be accessible to that person.

4. I accidentally posted a picture from work that showed a patient's information in the background. I deleted it right away from my social media page, so there is no way anyone can see it. 

Explanation

Once you post an image or information to the internet it is then hosted on a server and will always be able to be discovered in a court of law. If someone saw the information, they could also have copied it or shared it with another website before you deleted it.

Submit
5. Using Social Media and Electronic media in a way that compromises patient privacy rarely results in anything more than a brief reprimand.

The consequences of the violations run from being listed on Government Inspection Reports, termination of employment, even to criminal charges.
