True. This action is a violation of HIPAA policy because even with verbal permission from the patient, the video was shared without proper safeguards and consent processes. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requires the protection of patients' protected health information and limits the disclosure of such information without appropriate authorization. Sharing the video on a platform like Canvas could potentially result in unauthorized access and violates HIPAA regulations.

True. Posting a video of a patient's hemodialysis treatment without explicit written permission would be a violation of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) policy. While verbal permission may be sufficient for some purposes, the sharing of patient information, especially in a public platform like Canvas, typically requires written consent to ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations.
