Question regarding a HIPAA violation...

[samegirl]

Just a quick question...After an in depth investigation it was found that my Health records were accessed by an employee who did NOT have any right to be on them. It was verified by the Hospital. Do I need to report the violation to anyone else or will the hospital. It appears as if the employee is still working there.

I once looked up my own records to find out what my blood type was. Bad move, had a very indepth talk with my manager, was not allowed to use computers for a month, along with having it in my file that I had done this. Learnt my lesson, I call my Dr to find out anything about myself now!
