Does your Dental Practice connect with patients via social media? New age social media platforms are not only impacting how businesses influence consumers, but have transformed the dental industry. Practices have taken advantage of social media platforms by marketing to potential patients. Today, just about every health industry has reaped benefits of using Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms to attract more clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

HIPAA Compliance Online<\/b><\/h2>\n

Using Social Media for advertising and gaining the attention of patients looking for a dentist works wonders for most practices. One overlooked reality that\u2019s rarely discussed is that of maintaining HIPAA compliance while posting. Slip ups happen when practices forget to obtain consent before posting on social media, and suffer serious consequences as a result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HIPAA policies were created to protect patients’ privacy and prevent practitioners from sharing patient information without proper consent. HIPAA compliance online is vital for every practice due to the sensitivity of patient information, and social media is no exception to the rules of HIPAA privacy laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Your Dental Practice Immune?<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you think your dental practice is immune to facing consequences of HIPAA violations<\/a>, check out this <\/span>article<\/span><\/a> about a dental office facing a hefty $10,000 fine in a case involving patient privacy violation on social media. Don\u2019t become blindly captivated by the plethora of dental practices posting before and after images of dental work, or patient testimonials. Before following their footsteps, be sure to obtain patients\u2019 documented consent for social media sharing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Management of Social Media Posts<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Management<\/p>\n

Who manages social media accounts for your dental practice? If staff are responsible for posting on your social media accounts, it\u2019s imperative to keep them updated on regulations pertaining to HIPAA compliance online. Regular training sessions with updates on HIPAA rules and regulations will refresh them to avoid sharing anything online that may put your practice in jeopardy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does your practice have a Social Media Consent Form<\/a> in place that\u2019s been legally reviewed and is available for patients to sign?<\/span><\/p>\n

Social media platforms can boost your patient base via marketing and sharing before and after photos, patient testimonials, and impressive dental work.
