Hello all
i am having an issue with my current employer. I Had checked a patient record (which happened to be a family member who asked me to look at catscan results) at the time I felt a bit uneasy about it, but said family member was so worried and upset about not knowing results, I looked it up anyway. ( I 100% understand now that it was wrong). In any event, it was flagged in the system that I have no business relationship to this particular chart. They asked for an exPlaination which I gave via writing,I told the absolute truth, and family member stated to give them telephone number and family member would be willing to go in and attest that he/she indeed authoriZed me to look. Now I have a hipaa interview where I will be bringing my union rep. I am so scared of termination. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance all .
