The Magnolia Regional Medical Center Social Media Guidelines also apply to the employees of MRMC. In addition to those guidelines, employees should adhere to the following:
- You are personally responsible for your conduct and the content of your social media pages. Use discretion when engaging in conversation on public social media pages. Please remember that your involvement in social media (such as Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, blogs, etc) reflects upon you as an individual and the organization by which you are employed.
- Always write in the first person (“I”), as your views and opinions do not reflect our organization as a whole. Use your personal email address as a means of identification. Do not use your work email address or organization title. Unless you are posting to the site as part of your professional duties to Magnolia Regional Medical Center, you are not authorized to post information on behalf of the organization.
- The HIPAA Privacy Rule applies to information posted on the Internet; therefore, you are not authorized to engage in medical conversations or to give advice to any users. Do not discuss any specific cases, procedures, or surgeries, or engage in any conversation that may violate the privacy of your patients. Conduct that violates HIPAA, including our policies and procedures, will be subject to disciplinary action.
- Patient photos cannot be posted without a signed release form from the patient or guardian, provided and approved by the Marketing Department. You must have permission from your Administrative Leadership Team member and confirmation of a signed authorization before posting any photos.
