“Health care professionals disclosing information about others included 486 doctors and 98 nurses. Health care professionals sharing stories about patient care disclosed the time frame in 95 tweets and included patient names in 15 tweets” @RichDuszak

@DrewMoghanaki @marklewismd Yes unfortunately doctors don’t seem to adequately separate work from public discourse - old but relevant data. @NEJM missed the significance of this issue at the time (2018) https://t.co/ygCSG4Xwo5 #hipaa #ethics #MedTwitter #

@DrDevChauhan @DrYakupKilic1 @pearl_avery @DisneyBen @NakovRadislav

Sharing personal encouters and experiences in healthcare practice can be important as others can learn from them. However, physicians should always ask consent from patients disclosing information related to them even when it is completely anonymized. 👇

Enlighten & Important Read! Public Disclosure on Social Media of Identifiable Patient Information by HCPs: Content Analysis of Twitter Data “Nurses, physicians, & other HCPs may sometimes share more information than Pts or Families might expect.”

What you say online matters. In a recent analysis of the #ShareAStoryInOneTweet trend, •31% of stories were potentially identifiable by family members •46% were potentially identifiable by patients Ahmed et al 2020 https://t.co/nzJr0YoT5a 2/ https://t.c
