Point-of-care photography and photo sharing optimize patient outcomes and facilitate remote consultation imperative for resident surgeons. This literature review and external pilot survey study highlight the risks associated with current practices concerning patient privacy and biometric security. In a survey of 30 plastic surgeon residents and attendings, we found that the majority took photos of patients with their iPhones and shared them with colleagues via Apple iMessage. These findings corroborate previous reports and highlight a lack of physician user acceptance of secure photo-sharing platforms. Finally, we frame a successful example from the literature in the context of a postulated framework for institutional change. Prioritizing the privacy and safety of patients requires a strategic approach that preserves the ease and frequency of use of current practices.
床旁摄影和照片共享可优化患者治疗效果，并促进住院外科医生进行远程会诊。本综述及外部试点调查研究强调了当前患者隐私和生物识别安全相关做法所带来的风险。在一项针对30名整形外科住院医生和主治医生的调查中，我们发现大多数人使用iPhone拍摄患者照片，并通过苹果iMessage与同事分享。这些发现证实了之前的报道，并凸显出医生用户对安全照片共享平台缺乏接受度。最后，我们在一个假定的机构变革框架背景下，构建了一个文献中的成功案例。优先考虑患者的隐私和安全需要一种策略性方法，以保持当前做法的易用性和使用频率。
