The UMMS shared services communications team has worked over the past several months to amalgamate system affiliate hospital policies relating to several communications practices into policies that can be shared across the entire system. Two UM SRH policies have been updated and two new policies have been added to Policy Manager as follows:
Updated Policies:
- UM SRH IM-38 – Photography or Video Filming of Patients or Hospital Facilities
- UM SRH IM-03 – Release of Patient Medical Condition to the Public (Press/Media)
New Policies:
- UM SRH IM-38 – News Media Access Interaction Policy
- UM SRH LD-85 – Vendor Endorsement or Use of Hospital Name Logo or Images
UM SRH managers and directors have been briefed on these changes. Please review these policies as well as the following tools developed to help supplement these policies.
