Commenting Guidelines for MD Anderson Employees
Although the intent of the blog is to provide a channel for
communication with oncology professionals, students and patients outside of MD Anderson, no one has more to say about
what is going on at MD Anderson than our own faculty and staff. Employee
participation in blog commenting will enhance the open conversation the
blog is intended to create, and is encouraged. To help employees feel
that this is a safe environment where participation is truly encouraged ,
we offer the following tips for commenting within the blog.
The goal of a blog is to provide honest commentary to the community of readers and participants. When responding, always identify yourself as an employee. Your perspective as an employee is valuable to the conversations, and should be honestly represented.
When registering to comment on the blog , please use your MD Anderson e-mail address. Employee commenting in the blog can be identified by IP address. Comments identified as employees posted anonymously are subject to edit or rejection.

Recommendations for Commenting as an Employee
- Conduct yourself as you would within any business communication
such as e-mail or phone. The blog is simply another point of customer
interaction HIPAA and institutional guidelines for communication with
patients and the public are applicable here.
- Comment
with the assumption that your supervisor will read your comments.
Anything posted online is public information. Whether you have chosen to
adhere to standards or not, please consider that your comments are
available to the public, which includes the possibility of review by any
department chair or division head. If you have a concern about a
comment you would like to make within the blog, please follow your
appropriate departmental approval channels.
- This blog
is not an appropriate platform for addressing employment and personnel
concerns. It is strongly recommended that you address these issues
directly with your manager or an HR representative.
- Edit your comments for grammar, clarity and content. MD Anderson employs the best and brightest, and we should always try to represent ourselves as such. Often grammar and content errors detract from the validity of the response. Always review and edit your responses to the best of your ability before submitting.
