On Friday 2/10/2012, I received a phone call from Dr. Terri Bickert, Associate Vice President of Nursing Services at Geisinger Medical Center. She informed me that Susan Sarin had violated the \"Fair warning - HIPAA compliance\" policy on 2 separate occasions (Jan. 18 and Jan. 28, 2012).  These two instances involved using the EPIC system at GWV to access her husbands electronic medical records.  Dr. Bickert also informed me that Susan\'s EPIC access has been terminated and further discussion will be needed to determine her continuance of clinical at GWV.  I then informed Diane Barush, Clinical Coordinator, and Laura Zdancewicz, Assistant Director of the above.  
Laura Zdancewicz and I both met with Susan Sarin to discuss the details of the HIPAA violation. Susan was notified of the Geisinger HIPAA violation as well as her violation of program policies specifically listed in the student handbook.  Susan did complete GOALS training which includes detailed information on Geisingers HIPAA policy.  In addition, such policies have been discussed during clinical orientation (in December 2011).
