Bad CME Slide: HIPPA Violation Using a Patient’s Photo

Problem: Using a patient’s photo violates HIPPA privacy laws unless express permission is given. We don't know if your patient has approved.

Good CME Slide: HIPPA Compliant Solutions: 1. Hide patient's identity OR 2. Send the patient's HIPPA release to CRF (CME@CRF.org) OR 3. Add patient's HIPPA release at the back of your presentation so we know the patient has approved.

Bad Slide: Reference Information is Inadequate

Pub Med search found 9 papers, 3 of which were cardiac related

Good Slide: Reference provides enough data to find paper easily

Journal name, year, volume, and page are adequate data.

Bad Slide: References lack adequate details and are hard to read

Good Slide: Multiple References and Readable, Adequate Detail to Find Papers

Referencing Formats for Slides • Even though no official slide citation format

exists, use a modified AMA style

• Primary purpose of citing is to enable a peer to

look-up that information

Journal Articles

• First author, Journal, Volume, Issue, Page

numbers

• For study names, use the first author of the cited

paper, major trials often have 10 + papers

Bad Slide: Only the Speaker or Presenter Should be on Title Slide as an Author

This titles slide suggests 8 presenters and thus requires full disclosure information for all 8 presenters

Good Slide: Only Speaker on Title Slide

Solution: Only the Speaker/Presenter (or other TCT faculty with completed disclosures) should appear on the Title Slide

Thank you, and looking forward to a great TCT 2016 Conferece!
