The employee was improperly accessing medical records and personal information without authorization. The result from this caused the employee being charged with a HIPAA criminal violation and getting immediately suspended from the hospital.]]> 2022-10-14 22:28:27 UTC https://padlet.com/2917634/5lqy8hf2rs4cjetg/wish/2341012857 2917634 https://padlet.com/2917634/5lqy8hf2rs4cjetg/wish/2341013188 This former employee committed a violation by breaching the hospital's medical records. This violation goes against the Security Rule since the employee has been accessing electronic medical records without the proper authorization. ]]> 2022-10-14 22:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/2917634/5lqy8hf2rs4cjetg/wish/2341013188 2917634 https://padlet.com/2917634/5lqy8hf2rs4cjetg/wish/2341013354 If I was the victim, I would feel completely violated after having found out that things like my name, birth date, address, and diagnosis have been accessed by someone without my consent. The employee started doing this in 2018 and people were notified that this happened in 2021. Personally, I would be in a panic after being notified this late, because I would have no knowledge of who this information has been shared and how long my personal information has been out.

We also think that the employee being suspended immediately was definitely a good chose and we actually don't feel bad for the employee, but we agree with the suspension because it was very unprofessional for this employee to share this type of information and especially in a hospital. ]]> 2022-10-14 22:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2917634/5lqy8hf2rs4cjetg/wish/2341013478
