OK everybody, Im curious to hear your responses.
Yesterday at work, I was informed that one of our patients has a tape recorder and has possibly been tape recording treatment visits in our office! WTH!!!!
A little background on the situation. I am an OHN in a large beef packing plant. one of my job duties is to provide treatments for employees (ee) that have work related injuries/illnesses. This particular ee has been treating with us for a long time and has not gotten any better. To make a long story short, this ee is tightly affiliated with the union and gives us hell about ee rights and how the company is not going to treat ee's like crap. We provide this person great care. I dont want to go into details but what I can say is that I know this person is taking advantage of the Occupational benefits/Certified restricted duty program. I'll just leave it at that.
I am not at all worried about the stupid tape recorder because I never have said anything out of line to this ee. It just chaps my hide that I could recorded at any time now!!!!! Plus, during the times that this ee is treating in our office, other ee's are treating, and potentially being recorded as well........major breach of privacy!!!!
Our office has not decided how we are going to handle this problem. Im asking the advice of all you guys... So, have any of you been faced with this type of problem? What do you all think?
