HIPAA VIOLATION

OMG ... I am a very unseasoned nurse. Here's the story. I received a call from a social worker at the hospital for a patient that was sent there. She gave me the phone number and told me to leave a voicemail if she didn't answer. The patient needed medical clearance to come back to our facility. My MD told me the patient was denied. I was so stressed out because of work that I called back and left a voice message but I said the patients first name and that our MD is denying medical clearance and that we would need a CMP drawn on the patient first and I hung up. I realized what I had done and now I'm freaking out !! I know I violated HIPPA and I don't know what to do . I'm shaking! My mind was literally else where. I know I should never leave patient details in a voicemail and I am unsure of what to expect
