Apr 19, 201016 yr recently a co-worker was fired at a Michigan hospital for a HIPPA violation. Will she lose her license or any ramifications with the board of nursing?
Apr 19, 201016 yr It's HIPAA. :)As far as your question, I don't know, sorry. I don't think, though, that HIPAA violations would fall under the purview of the BON.
Apr 19, 201016 yr the BON will take care of the license question. She may loose her job in the meanwhile if employer decides she violated policy. Also, there could be civil and criminal charges if patient sues. The other option is that she worries a lot and nothing much happens. I hope the best for her.
Apr 20, 201016 yr Yes, it's possible. She may not lose her license, she could end up on probation, under suspension, get disciplined, etc. Only the BON can decide. It DOES fall under the NPA.
