I have recently be talked to about a possible HIPAA violation at the hospital I work at. The patient also an employee was coming in for an ob ultrasound which I noticed. Then another coworker told me that the individual was pregnant and that she was telling people about it. So, I thought it would be OK to congratulate her. Now I am being investigated for a HIPAA violation... can I be fired?
