I came across SEVERAL sheets of paper containing patient names while I was packing my ex's (who is a LPN) stuff. In addition, I also found a lot of medications (non-narcotics) and called the police who confiscated all of this including the patient names.
I talked to my ex (who of course is playing dumb) and he said that the place he is working at isn't going to press charges and is in the process of trying to work for the same company somewhere else. I am a RN and I don't work for his company, a nursing home that I'm sure will try to sweep it under the rug because they liked him so well.
However, who do I report all of this to besides the police? I contacted ISNAP and they mentioned we will get the Attorney General involved. What about the HIPPA violation? It is a violation to have patient names outside a healthcare facility in which it came from correct? I don't know what to do...I want to take the right steps! Please help!
I'm sorry, but I would have to born yesterday to believe that the you just all of sudden found this "stuff" after the relationship was over. Stop with the moral issue. If you were so moral, you would have turned your ex in a long time ago. This is now an issue of revenge and that is it. You turned him in, leave it be because you are looking very bad at this point. Take a breath, step back and really look at why you are doing this. Believe me, I bet most of us know what it feels like to be in your shoes. Its time to move on with your life now.

^ wouldn't it be something else if it was actually hers: the paper and the meds. But she had just completely forgotten about them? haha
