One example. A friend of mine who works at a hospital told me about a colleague (a nurse) who looked up her own test results since she was anxious and could not wait using her login to the main system (for providers). She got flagged in the system and reprimanded. Every access is logged.

it's worth noting for others that this was almost certainly a hospital policy violation, not a hipaa violation. There's nothing in hipaa that prevents a person from accessing their own record (though I have heard hospital administrators try to claim otherwise).
