Think before you post: a reminder on VUMC Social Media Policy

VUMC recognizes the importance of social media to connect, engage and communicate. VUMC was one of the first medical centers in the country to develop a social media policy to guide use of social media by its workforce. 

VUMC’s social media policy generally requires that anyone identifying as a VUMC employee online follow the same VUMC Credo behavior, HIPAA, Conflict of Interest policy, privacy and general civil behavior guidelines, and not reveal proprietary financial, intellectual property, patient care or similar sensitive or private content.

Consistent messaging to the public about COVID-19 and VUMC's responses to the pandemic is critically important to our business operations and the public's trust. Please do not share details that may be considered proprietary, including password-protected information that might be shared through MyVUMC.
