Many people like the nurse in my scenario like to vent on social media about how difficult their day is, which is fine, but in the field of health, you need to be careful about how much information you share about your day. Under HIPAA, a healthcare professional can get in trouble even if the patient's name was not spoken but the illness was disclosed. This is to protect the patient, to which he is entitled. Another downside is smartphone distraction. Many people have different games and social media that can distract them from their job of caring for their patients. Instead of following up on your file, the healthcare provider might check their Facebook or play Candy Crash. This distraction affects your and your patients' care.
