PIO Social Media Training

In this episode of the PIOSocialMediaTraining.com podcast we chat with Attorney Doug Wolfberg, a founding partner of Page Wolfberg and Wirth, about social networking in EMS. Doug is a former EMS field provider and service director that specializes in legal representation of EMS services. Social networking and social media usage is a growing concern of his clients.

During our conversation we discuss common legal and ethical pitfalls, essential social networking policy elements, and immediate actions employers should take regarding social networking usage. It will not be of any surprise to our regular listeners and readers that Doug’s top recommendation is to have a policy that covers important issues related to disclosure of patient information and employers’ rights to monitor social networking usage.

Doug is presenting a webinar: Social Networking in EMS: the legal and ethical pitfalls and how you can avoid them on April 7, 2011. Webinar participants will also receive a model policy. Learn more at PWWEMSLaw.com or by calling 877-EMS-LAW1
