Question

Your friend and colleague just posted this to a private Facebook page that only allows APNs: "I have a 45-year-old patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). She was healthy prior to this and worked at the Starbucks on the corner of Clark and Addison streets as a full-time barista. If you were ever near there, you would remember her as always smiling and happy to help. We just put her on mechanical ventilation and in a prone position. Nothing is working!! We are unsure what to do next. Does anyone have any suggestions?" Include your answers to the following questions in your initial post: Is this considered a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) violation? If so, why? Does the critical nature of this patient's situation supersede the patient's right to privacy under HIPAA or other regulations/laws related to informatics? Provide rationale for your response. What is your professional obligation in this situation?
