Mistress called my job claiming hippa violation, what do I expect?

Ok long story short: divorced from ex husband , final last week. His girlfriend texted me at 5:00 in the morning ( I work at a hospital) and sent me random messages. Calling me so much names claiming I had stds, said she hopes someone spits on me and gives me aids, and said I’m gonna to be your worse nightmare. I asked who was it she denied it, made different names and then starting saying she works with me at my hospital. I started suspecting her cause who else? She mentioned personal details my ex knows. Anyways I called security and alerted them.

Yesterday I got called in office and my manager and director was there they asked what was the name of the girlfriend harassing me last week, I said who I suspected. Lo and behold I got a IRIS (complaint) stating I was calling her and harrassing and she heard patient information on the phone . She provided her actual name and ya I was right

I never talked to her on the phone. They believed me but of course they said privacy officers were looking into it cause she claimed hippa. What is the process like?

I’m nervous cause never had to do with this bullshit. I’m so going to get a restraining order too, my job advised me too
