Technologists'Attitudes Regarding Social Networking and Implications for Managers.

Social networking has both positive and negative implications and can be an excellent communication and networking tool or it can have detrimental consequences. Healthcare workers, including radiologic technologists, need to be aware of the possible impli- cations of their online postings. Radiologic technologists are extensively using and accessing social media sites and should have appropriate profes- sional boundaries. Radiology administrators should assure that technologists are aware of policies related to social networking. Employee education regarding negative implica- tions may prove helpful; creating a radi- ology department with sound ethical standards.
