First we need more information.
Did you sign a release? You may have and not realized it. So check your paperwork. If you did then they did nothing wrong. Last time I checked into the hospital, there was a information release form.
Also if you have insurance, they will release information to your insurance co. or your company if Workman's comp. Or to your company if they are self insured.
So without a lot more information, we really can't help you.

I think you need to know who and why information was passed on without your consent.This is a break in the data protection act,of which the hospital should be operating.I believe you are protected by law.

Your rights are that NO ONE should release information about you. Contact the hospital administration and take it up with them. If they don't help you, contact a lawyer and ask him.

it really is negative!! often times everyone is discharged with IV's or nonetheless desiring some nursing care, in spite of the indisputable fact that the social workers manage for abode well being nurses to assist out in those situations. sufferers can't be discharged and not using a clinical specialist's order, so i'd locate out who that clinical specialist is and ask why he became discharged so quickly. i'd definitly call his clinical specialist and manage for a follow up asap (not wait per week) to substantiate each and every thing is high quality. even as issues cool down, and also you comprehend he's doing ok, you are able to request a affected human being's bill of rights from the clinical institution (each and every clinical institution has one). you are able to then write a letter to the president of the clinical institution (experience free to cc the clinical chief of crew or director of nursing in case you want) and address fairly how his adventure did not coincide with what the bill of rights says. good luck!!

Get a lawyer. They'll do this pro Bono if you have proof of disclosure.
It will settle out of court of course.
But it will be BIG NUMBERS.
This is a HUGE NO-NO in the medical field.
Happens though. Insurance companies end up paying.

You can sue them and the hospital that they work for,, this is the HIPPA law.. unless they gave info to police or court or something then it may be legal... Hippa is the privacy act.. they are sworn to abide by it... I know my laws... I am a well educated Republican... good luck to you .

Get an lawyer and the pot of gold is yours. Those rights are strictly protected. If you are in a small town get the lawyer from another area.

I would talk to the hospital administrator first and see what their policy is.
