HonorHealth admits to violating patient privacy in court during oral arguments in the wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former employee fired by the hospital for blowing the whistle on the hospital’s fraud and patient privacy violations. The judge asked this crooked hospital’s equally crooked lawyer Andrew Ashworth if as the fired whistleblower had reported, could IT helpdesk people access patients’ private and confidential records, the lawyer hesitated but knew that he had no choice but to finally tell the truth, admitted on record that yes, IT people answering phones could access HonorHealth patients’ confidential and private records. Just as the whistleblower had reported and was fired for.
This is how corrupt and crooked officials at this HonorHealth hospital are. They fired the employee who told them that IT helpdesk people had no business accessing patient records and have been denying for almost two and a half years that this practice was going on and that they fired the whistleblower for speaking up and trying to protect patients’ rights. Despite the fact that HonorHealth admits to violating patient privacy, the whistleblower has been fighting his case on his own without a lawyer since December 2016. To all the employees of this crooked and corrupt HonorHealth hospital, this is what you will be subjected to by these corrupt officials of this hospital if you decide to do what’s right and speak up for your patients.
