This person was on Facebook talking about an incident that occurred at work.

It's HIPAA, not HIPPA.

I don't understand the question. Does either one of you work in the medical field? I realize this is posted under Nursing. How specific was the information?

I question the judgment of posting info which COULD be confidential on Facebook but I don't see a violation unless the info could identify a specific patient/resident.
