Toronto University Health Network’s Social Media Posters: Photo

 

Update (Jan. 15th, 2010): Thanks to Dr. Vartabedian (@Doctor_V) for featuring this campaign on his blog 33charts!

Here it is: I snapped a photo of the Privacy-In-Practice posters that University Health Network (UHN) has posted in its hospitals.

Looks like “Facebook, Twitter or blogs” are the big shots here. Do you think there are any other popular social media avenues that deserve to be listed as well?

For more information, see the post I wrote about seeing these posters for the first time last semester.

    I quite like this. It does not forbid their usage or event condemn employees from using social media sites. In a clever way it simply helps with an important bit of of education. Really well done!

      Exactly. It caught my attention by the elevators of the hospital (Toronto Western Hospital) because it gets right to the point, and seems to treat its audience as mature professionals with common sense. The discussion on whether organizations should have explicit social media policies is fascinating (recently: http://bit.ly/5cCWDs). I think this is a good example of how not to be so overbearing with a policy that it stifles creativity.
