General State that organizational policies are applicable to social media communications

Playbricks 3 by Paul Preacher, http://www.freeimages.com/photo/205911




1. Follow all applicable Mayo Clinic policies.2. Write in the first person. Where your connection to Mayo Clinic is apparent, make it clear that you are speaking for yourself and not on behalf of Mayo clinic.Disclaimer: “The views expressed on this [blog; website] are my own and do not reflect the views of my employer.”


3. If you identify your affiliation to Mayo Clinic, your social media activities should be consistent with Mayo’s high standards of professional conduct.4. If you communicate in the public internet about Mayo clinic or Mayo Clinic-related matters, you must disclose your connection with Mayo clinic and your role at Mayo.


5. Be professional, use good judgement and be accurate and honest in your communications; errors, omissions or unprofessional language or behavior reflect poorly on Mayo, and may result in liability for you or Mayo clinic. Be respectful and professional to fellow employees, business partners, competitors and patients.


6. Ensure that your social media activity does not interfere with your work commitments.7. Mayo Clinic strongly discourages “friending”of patients on social media websites. Staff in patient care roles generally should not initiate or accept friend requests except in unusual circumstances such as the situation where an in-person friendship pre-dates the treatment relationship.


8. Mayo Clinic discourages staff in management/supervisory roles from initiating “friend” requests with employees they manage. Managers/supervisors may accept friend requests if initiated by the employee, and if the manager/supervisor does not believe it will negatively impact the work relationship.

The goal of the Healthcare Hashtag Project is to make the use of Twitter more accessible for providers and the healthcare community as a whole.

By lowering the learning curve of Twitter with a database of relevant hashtags to follow, we hope to help new and existing users alike to find the conversations that are of interest and importance.
