i am curious how this will play out! what do you think should happen to you? whether it was your husband or some other non-clinical staffmember , like a visitor . you allowed an unauthorized person to sit next toyou. this person was with in view of patients records. this show lack ofjudgment and critical thinking skill which are vital to the job you aretraining for. you are dealing with people and there are no room for mistakes. (when you're in an unsecure location with people walking around you have to be really careful about privacy--it is your responsibility to maintain patient confidentially at all time.) the bigger picture is- your program director should informthe clinical location of the possible breach. which in turn : the board of directors and legal department should benotified. there is a possible hippa breach- and they have to inform the appropriateauthorities and the patient. this could cost the clinical location money. ibelieve the starting amount for any breach is $5,000 plus the patient can sue. plus this patients will tell friends - which by word of mouth will damage the reputation of this location. this is big. nowif they are fined or not , you have placed your clinical coordinator andcollege in a difficult spot. clinicallocations trust these training college to insure that all rules are followed. idon't think you'll hear quickly it may take a week. but the clinical locationnow is in a position of not being able to trust your current program. this maycost you, you may not be welcomed back there .now your college has 2choice - 1- do they have another locationto send you and can & will they trust you unsupervised. 2 if they don't have another location for you - they can either dismissyou, or give you a falling grade for your clinical. if it comes to that have them dismiss you. if you fail your clinical no other program will admit you. if they can'ttrust you at clinical site - you can't in the program. hard lesson to learn either way. with knowing all the problems you justcreated - do you honestly think you should be allow to stay? let us know how it plays out.
