Social media have infiltrated all of our lives, both personally and professionally. Most of us could never have envisioned the impact that social media have had on us, particularly in the healthcare arena. Who would have thought even five years ago that a discussion on the ASHRM exchange would involve the use of Twitter in the operating room or that a physician would be reprimanded by a state medical board and have her privileges revoked due to posting information online about a trauma patient? In the coming years, social media use will only increase, causing concern for risk managers across the continuum. Furthermore, although case law and statutory regulations addressing the use of social media are minimal today, it is anticipated that we will see legal challenges to this evolving medium in the future.
社交媒体已经渗透到我们生活的方方面面，无论是个人生活还是职业领域。我们大多数人从未想象过社交媒体对我们产生的影响，尤其是在医疗保健领域。甚至在五年前，谁能想到在ASHRM交流会上的讨论会涉及在手术室使用推特，或者一名医生会因在网上发布有关一名创伤患者的信息而受到州医学委员会的斥责并被吊销执业资格呢？在未来几年，社交媒体的使用只会增加，这让整个医疗行业的风险管理者都感到担忧。此外，尽管目前针对社交媒体使用的判例法和法律法规很少，但预计未来我们会看到针对这种不断发展的媒介的法律挑战。
