Web Publishing Guidelines & Policies
Below are some guidelines for publishing on YSM websites. If you have a role publishing to a website that represents the Yale School of Medicine (YSM), we encourage you to read through these carefully. As with all guidelines, these do not cover the extent of every publishing possibility, and you should in all cases use common sense. If you have any question or concern about publishing certain content, ask questions of your supervisor or the YSM web team before making the content live. You can direct specific questions for the web team to ysm.editor@yale.edu
Publishing Content
Do not post identifiable information about patients anywhere in this system, whether the page has security or not.
Images & Photography on YSM Websites
Do not publish any image depicting animals, any images for which you do not retain copyright or have rights to publish, and any images of patients for which you do not have a signed HIPAA media release form.
Social Media Guidelines
Use your common sense, remember that you are publishing under the Yale name, and stay active on the account or delete it.
