HIPAA question

I have a co-worker that broke hippa and looked up a patient information from 2023. The co-worker looked up said pt information to write down his information to report another nurse to the BON. The nurse made an error in 2023 that the facility dealt with. The co-worker disliked the nurse and reported her to the BON. The work facility is looking into her hippa violation.  Thoughts

 

Would anything happen to the worker that broke hippa

    She had no justifiable medical reason to access the chart. This is a serious HIPAA violation. The RN could face discipline up to termination and could be reported to the board for such a breach. A HIPAA violation could result in a $50,000 fine.
