Abigail Hinchy was in a relationship with Davion Peterson. During this time, Ms. Hinchy filled her prescriptions at a Walgreen pharmacy. Ms. Hinchy became pregnant with Mr. Petersons child and gave birth to a son. After he was no longer dating Ms. Hinchy and had started dating a Walgreens pharmacist, Audra Withers, Mr. Peterson learned that he had contracted genital herpes at some point in the past. Ms. Withers was concerned about how the herpes was spread and used Walgreens records to research Ms. Hinchys prescription history. Mr. Peterson learned of the records and confronted Ms. Hinchy because the records showed she had not refilled her birth control. Ms. Hinchy learned that
(1)
a HIPAA/privacy violation had occurred,
(2)
Withers had viewed Hinchys prescription information without consent and for personal purposes, and
(3)
Walgreen could not confirm that Withers had revealed that information to a third party.
Ms. Hinchy sued Ms. Withers and Walgreens for several causes of action, including negligent training, negligent supervision, negligent retention, and negligence/professional malpractice.
