    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.
