    Did I violate Hippa
    I work at a Health care facility and also at the hospital on temporary basis. I sent a resident to the hospital and was concerned about the resident and I have access to the patient records with my computer so I looked up his lab and doctors note to better care for the resident when he returned to our facility.The computer is safe and the hospital gave me ability to use this with a password. I shared this info with no one else Did I violate hippa
