Common sense is a requirement.

Do not take pictures of your patients (and post them)
Do not post about an open case of your patient(hearing, lawsuits)
Do not post identification like true name, hospital ,room number, date of birth . . .

Some nurses take it too seriously. They say never blog about work, patients . . . even if the story is fictionalized and you alter identification . . . if you don’t want to risk your job. Come on. Seriously, is there any part of HIPAA regulation that bans blogging? And so, if I post about these instead–what I eat, how much I exercise, what homework my children are working on–on my nursing blog, will any nurses out there read my blog?

We have to make sure our ‘details’ are not rich enough. I relate it to how you would conduct yourself if you were talking with a co-worker in the elevator of the hospital. You know what you cannot say and cannot share within an earshot of the public.

@ Mike I agree.

So what exactly are your recommendations for sharing information about health related matters? I know as an academic, we are always asked to ‘cloak’ sites and people, but inevitably if the detail is rich enough, people will make the connections or come to some conclusion, right or wrong. How do you navigate these kinds of waters in the work you do?
