We require permission to be signed by the patient even if faces are
obscured.  Thanks, Pam

Subject: Use of digital camera

Hi All,
I was wanting to "Jazz up" our  monthly trauma case studies by using a
digital camera in the resus room, to record pic's of the actual events.  ("a
picture paints a thousand words") and  was wondering if other emergency
departments use the same or similar tools for education.
Has it been effective? How did you conquer the "patient confidentiality"
component? 
Before I present this idea to the department heads I would like to have some
facts behind me.  I do plan to obscure faces etc.. and obtain patient
/relative consent when possible.
The photo's will only be used as a power point presentation for the staff in
our emergency department ( and the paramedic crew that delivered the patient
if interested).
All positive, negative comments greatly appreciated
Marty
