I saw one of these women on the news yesterday claiming that the hospital is railroading them. They didn't seem too convincing to me.

Firing seems appropriate in this situation. I'm gonna change my password.

Certainly the employee who sent the email should be fired post haste.
As for Nelson, she deserves a reprimand and maybe even suspension, but firing seems excessive if this is her first personnel offense. Unless they're just trying to make an example of someone.

I used to work at Cottonwood Hospital in the IT department. I was a Network Engineer / System Admin. Trust me, they take patient confidentiality very seriously and everyone knows, you release info about a patient, no matter who it is, and you're fired.

At the hospital where I work, this would be very serious and could lead to termination. If she gave her password to someone else, it's her fault, and since it was released on her password, there's no proof she isn't really the one who released the information against HIPAA policy. She knows the rules...
