Mind Your Ps!
Before posting anything on social media consider the following:
| The P | The Question |
|---|---|
| PURPOSE | Why are you sharing this information? |
| PRIVACY | Who is going to see it? Where else might it go? |
| PATIENT | If the patient saw this, would they recognize themselves? |
| PERSONAL | If someone posted this about you, how would you feel? |
| PROFESSIONAL | How might this impact the image of your profession? |
| PROTECT | Are your privacy settings the strictest available & checked regularly? |
| PERMISSION | Have you obtained permission & cited others’ work? |
| PERMANENT | You can never get it back. |
