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.
