Six Real-World Examples of Social Media HIPAA Violations

Even if you accidentally post a picture that contains protected health information in the background, it’s still a breach.
Posting videos or pictures of patients is also a breach if you don’t have proper authorized written consent.
Sharing any stories about patients can violate HIPAA, even if it doesn’t include the patient’s name or if it’s within a private group of people who are permitted to know the information.
If it includes any information about a patient, don’t post it. It’s necessary that you keep work and personal life separate so that you don’t face charges or lose your job.
Unfortunately, some healthcare employees still fail to follow HIPAA when it comes to social media.

Can I ask you a question if it is a type of violation of HIPPA? My friend is a nurse aide , she took a resident's picture and sent it to her staff by text message , but the resident has passed away, it is a type of HIPPA violation?

I recently posted about how I work for a agency and I worked at a place through the company for about a year. Never said anything about a patient, but how I was upset of that I got in trouble for being told I didnt do my job it feels more like my privacy is breach not the other way around? What do I do?

What's your take of an insurance company actually sending someone ELSE'S insurance information via USPS mail inside an envelope mailed out to YOUR address? Inside the envelope included details about your benefits but again, it ALSO included FULL documents/report of someone else as well.

Question. I've built an online platform for Health Coaches and I was thinking of creating an online forum where people who visit the site can go to talk about health issues they are dealing with so the community in the forum can support them. Would this be a HIPAA violation since they are posting their own information publicly?

What about is you say your sis got vaccinated

[@samalfonzo1585]

This does not violate HIPPA if she told you herself. Still make sure it's okay with them before you share.
