Digital Boundaries & Consent in Healthcare
Digital Boundaries & Consent in Healthcare
This collaborative page supports **Module 2 – Segment 5** of the Digital Tech for Good micro-credential.
Purpose
This space is for learners to:
- Share examples of professional digital boundaries for PSWs and nurses.
- Reflect on one personal communication goal to enhance privacy and consent practices.
- Contribute to a growing list of peer-reviewed digital professionalism practices in healthcare.
Instructions
Please complete the following:
- Upload your digital boundaries list and personal goal to the Portfolio Document Companion.
- Add your contributions to this Wiki page under the “Learner Contributions” section.
- Read and comment on at least one peer’s entry to promote shared learning and reflection.
Case Examples
Example 1: A PSW took a photo of a wound using their personal phone to show the nurse. While well-meaning, this violated privacy policy. The correct action: document using PointClickCare and notify the nurse via secure systems.
Example 2: An entry in MediaWiki read: “Mr. Khan was difficult and demanding again.” This was reviewed as unprofessional. A better entry would be: “Mr. Khan expressed concerns about medication timing. Support provided, and nurse notified.”
Example 3: A PSW offered to video call a resident’s daughter using a facility tablet. Consent was obtained and documented. In contrast, another staff member video-called without permission, resulting in a formal complaint.
