Hi all. Need some info. I feel confident that I didn't do anything wrong, but I just need clarification.
I made a post on facebook today about a patient that I took care of. I mentioned that it was a dementia patient who was nonverbal & bed-bound and how excited I was that she responded to me and spoke some words to me. I used no individually identifying information, made no reference to the hospital or room number that the patient was in, or where she was being transferred to. I mentioned that she had a daughter who basically ran out of the room when I asked if she wanted to feed her mother. Nor did I post any pictures of this patient.
A woman on the thread said that I had violated patient confidentiality. I really didn't think that I violated anything, but now I'm worried since I am 2 weeks from graduating.
