If you're reading this, we don't need to tell you #MedTwitter is amazing
#IDTwitter is constantly sharing educational patient cases and hot-off-the-press articles. The frequent case-based learning from individuals and ID fellowship programs on Twitter inspired this piece!

We want to help you with some practical recommendations to:
safely de-identify patient cases or use clinical images
cite your sources
Hopefully this is a useful guide for those getting started and perhaps evokes questions for those who tweet regularly

Everyone has done that hospital module (or ten) on HIPAA, but do you know what the "Safe Harbor" method outlined in the HIPAA Privacy Rule is? I can almost guarantee you have used this method on many occasions

5/De-identification may seem simple, but removal of HIPAA identifiers may not be enough. #IDTwitter, details from epi hx can be crucial, but may lead to inadvertent re-identification.
Use this...or get creative & make a composite pt (what I do for tweetorials+ @febrilepodcast )

Next, we tried to think about how and when to use clinical images. We advocated that collecting images and posting on social media should be discussed with a pt like any other informed consent, which can be easily stored in their EMR.

What about pathology or radiology images? HIPAA Privacy Rule permits use of de-identified path photographs, but radiology images do not have any specific requirements outlined by law. The key is taking extra care with de-identification of the accompanying vignette!!

Let's end with a word on responsible referencing. How do we cite source material on SoMe? Which articles are you allowed to freely repost?
I hope this graphic can help you pinpoint the symbols or text to look for to identify open access vs journal copyright

In this table, we summarize our recs for images/references.
We tried to cover the types of sources you might use in other digital materials
For ex: Did you know most CDC images and papers written by employees of federal government are public domain?
