Post: hippa violation accusation

Posted by lucinda salas on 6/11/08
I am a charge nurse in a busy ER and we have corpsman that work with us. This one corpsman has a lot of mental issues and has been taken care of several times in our ER. On one occasion, the one in question. She stated that I said"pump up the meds in there she's being a bitch" which is totally out of character for me and she was not recieving any meds at that time because she had overdosed and was hallucinating so I say what med? That same night she also said that she did not want me to take care of her... this was not relayed to me at any time because I would have gladly given her care to another nurse.On another note one day she was standing behind me while I was enetering orders in the computer and she asked me to look at her med profile to see if the doctor had refilled her medication, at that point he had not so the corpsman got the ER doctor to put the script in for her, she used this against me as said that I accessed her medical records without her knowledge or consent, but if thet will just look at the entry time and the time that the ER doctor put in her med refill this will prove my story.I have been accused of violation of hippa can you help?
