encourages and expects active involvement by all connected parties, including
patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, as integral to the full

What is a critical regulatory issue associated with the use of social media in healthcare
education and services?
Selected Answer: c.
Maintain information security
Response
Feedback: Social media sites and the internet as a whole are not regulated, and the
Federal Communications Commission within the U.S. government body is
responsible for regulating communication through various mediums. In 2015,
it voted to maintain net neutrality, thereby safeguarding consumers’ rights to
view what they choose on the internet. The Federal Trade Commission also
has decided to keep the internet open. Health and Human Services regulates
many aspects of healthcare but has no rules regarding social media. The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration regulates the distribution of drugs and medical
devices, while pharmaceutical companies use social media to promote
consumer interaction and adverse events reporting and cautions and avoid
posting anything that could be interpreted as off-label promotion. Information
should be appropriate and reliable and avoid any copyright infringement for
education users and healthcare consumers. Even with strict security settings,
healthcare information systems and education systems are still susceptible to
viruses, spyware, phishing, and other internet threats.

Selected Answer: d.
is the paradigm for a paternalistic care model.

Participatory medicine includes the patient as a partner in goal setting and
decision making. Integrated care has to do with interdisciplinary care. Health
2.0, by its nature, assumes more of a patient-centered and nonpaternalistic
approach.
