I maintain there is rarely anything useful in work e-mail. Somewhere in between the newsletters the whole organization gets eventhough they only apply to a specific department, the latest money donation opportunity, and random chain letters that slip through the blocking software, there is the occasional relevent nugget that actually applies to me and my job.
And then I get things that really boggle my mind.
Quick reminders: I work in medical imaging and I'm PRN with precious few hours. Now that that's out of the way, let me tell you what I found in my work e-mail inbox today. I found an order for a scan to be done today. Yes, it's a scan I would do in my department. One of my favorite scans to do, actually. However, I am not working today. On the recipient list was "<other other location> Medical Imaging Department," meaning the sender sent it to everyone who works in medical imaging including techs who don't even have the licenseure to do said scan.
HIPAA violation much? I'm not even sure it's legal to send orders through e-mail even though work's is encrypted. Regardless, I shouldn't have gotten it. And those of you who work in healthcare are no dobut 'ing at the sheer wrongness.
Time to go look up the compliance hotline number.
