I worked for two agencies caring for people with developmental disabilities. One of our clients that was cared for at job #1 left our agency and was being cared for by a different provider who I also worked for. He had an incident where he fell and he also choked on some food and staff did the heimlich maneuver on him. I told one of my co-workers at job #1 that knew the consumer from working with him previously about what happened to him. Job #1 fired me for it saying I violated hipaa. He wasn't job #1's consumer any longer. I am just wondering if this was a hipaa violation.
