Many health-related organizations view social media as the arch-enemy of HIPAA. Yet both social media and HIPAA compliance are necessary evils in business, leaving us with a nasty dilemma. On the one hand, violations of the Privacy Rule under HIPAA can carry fines up to $250,000 and imprisonment up to 10 years, even in cases where the name of the client was never involved. On the other hand, we know, in today’s world, an online presence is essential; statistics overwhelmingly show customers generally use, and only use, businesses they find online.
To further complicate matters, technology relating to both social media and Protected Health Information (PHI) breach is constantly developing. From AOL to SnapChat, social media and HIPAA breach opportunities in 2015 look very different from their predecessors a decade ago. Faced with this quandary, many businesses have either banned social media altogether at work or have chosen to ignore the probability of PHI breach. Unfortunately, neither approach works.
Well-reasoned, well-chosen policies and practices will enable you to maximize your online presence and maintain your HIPAA privacy standards. Taking a look at some of the best and worst case scenarios, along with legal requirements and a bit of social media PR, we will discuss logical, effective, and legally compliant tools for managing social media in the workplace. If you haven’t heard what’s going on in 2015 with social media and HIPAA technology, and how to make them work together to your benefit, you cannot afford to miss this program.
