title: Tweets, friends, and links: the use of social media by NICU health care providers.
abstract: Most of us are connected in some way to contacts through social media. Not only is it a great way to keep in touch and up-to-date but can also be a way to communicate with parents or guardians of patients in the NICU. However, along with the benefits comes the potential for abuse and or the unintentional disclosure of patient information.
