Can I get fired for this
I worked for a pretty big hospital system that has a university tied to it. I went to said university and I wanted to see how names were auto-populated and sorted on the epic screen for those certain demographic names so I search them but did not go into the patient chart. I was flagged and in my compliance meeting I stated I did not know them but the monitoring system marked it as Family connection….. because we all attended the same university in the past. I stated I did not know them and stood by this because I truly don’t know them. What should my realistic next steps be? I won’t receive a decision about their punishment for two weeks. Should I start looking for a new job etc? Please tell me what my expectations should be, this was my only incident ever and I apologized for the oversight. Again I didn’t enter the chart.
