HIPPA is drilled into the heads of everybody in the healthcare industry, and EVERY inquiry is logged... dumbfks allI guess it flushed out a bunch of people who didn’t take their confidentiality oaths seriously.
The computer people at hospitals most likely put flags on the file of any given celebrity and if someone starts poking around they’ll be discovered pretty quickly. But that’s a LOT of people being fired. I’m guessing the hospital would rather do that than face the prospect of HIPPA fines, which might happen anyway.
Replacing nurses is next to impossible. Short sighted move
What a terrible waste of medical talent, productivity and manpower!
How stupid to fire them......why not just a discipline?
They are all continuously warned about privacy.
So Jussie’s race hoax caused large numbers of blacks to lose their jobs. Nice going jackass

Funny how it mattered with Smollett, but doesn’t with conservatives, like Trump. Raw hypocrisy.
first i’ve heard...

They know the rules and the penalties.
I have no sympathy.
Wasn’t there a story once about a chef at a university chow hall who complained about the soul food being served and got fired because of it? I’m really hazy on the details but remember the chef who got fired was actually black.
Too bad these medical laws don’t stop people like all the gun laws do...

Fine with me. Good riddance.
I am amazed at the boundless vacuousness of millennial brains. First , understand that Juicy Smell it was is and will remain a nobody.I had never seen him and I never want to see him again. Here you have 50 hospital employees with so little to do that they roam medical record of patients at will to occupy their little empty brains. What were they looking for? I can’t even make that up.
For once, I’d like to read a news report without the irksome term, “allege.”
The IT network folks are going to be sued for inappropriate permissions to access information.
Ever wonder why Trump’s taxes have not been leaked? Or the taxes of pretty much anyone else with a high profile.
Well, with the IRS, when you have higher and higher profile people, you need more and more people to authorize access. When you get to Trump, it probably takes 10 people, including higher management, of course, to approve someone new wanting to look at his taxes. And if you do ask for access, you sure as hell better have a good reason for it, since any of those 10 people could probably start termination proceedings against you if you don’t (and I doubt that more than 2 or 3 are even authorized today...and obviously they don’t feel it’s worth being fired and jailed to go to bat for Hillary).
Like it or not, they do have a good system there. This STUPID HOSPITAL, and I’m sure most others, could learn a thing or two from the IRS.
One other thought - I do wonder if the peeping toms were limited to 50 people, or maybe they just didn’t like those 50 people. Either way, that is still a boatload of people to fire at once. Look for class action.
Can President Trmp hire the person responsible for this mass firing to be in charge of securith at the IRS? They could use a mass firing for general nosiness in taxpayers’ files.
