    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?
