An in-house complaint has come in on your office anonymous tip
line regarding nurses on the OBGYN unit. The complaint alleges that
a few of the nurses has been using their cell phones from patients'
room to monitor other patients. Although they do not use last
names, the nurse uses moms first names and room number and will
often reference, her c-section or other medical details. You are
aware the OBGYN unit has been short staffed for months and that
these nurses may just be trying to save time by calling each other
rather than walking from room to room. However, the person
submitting the complaint is concerned this practice may be in
violation of HIPPA.
