Today we had yet another memo in our mail boxes.
Apparently someone in our service area saw something on an employees facebook and called and complained. I dont have the memo with me. If the OP really wants details then PM me.
What kind of department are you with? Private EMS
Does your department have a specific policy relating to blogging, taking cellphone pics on a call or at the station house? If so I would appreciate a copy of the policy.
We do. I can get it for you. If you want it. We cannot post anything that would make my company look bad. We can post pics of ourselves in the rigg and uniform, as long as nothing else on that page is unprofessional. Like drunken pictures, swearing, etc.
Do you have to inform your dept. of your blog facebook or other social networking site pages?
Negative. But if they find it. It is fair game in evaluating whether they wanna keep you around or not. However, Supervisors and management cannot have facebooks.
What kind of training is given in regards to the policy? IE: A real sit down training, a bulletin board notice, etc..
We get tons of memos about it. Also it was gone over during orientation
Does your department have any new training or policies relating to possibly being video'd or recorded by a bystander, family member or patient now that every cellphone can do that?
Never had an issue with that as far as I know.
What kinds of violations and actions were taken relating to any lapses in the policy in your department?
If something you post allows someone somewhere to identify the pt or incident you are talking about, I was told it is grounds for immediate termination.
If it is just a questionable picture. You will be warned and asked to remove it.
