Subject: hipaa violation

I work at a medical diagnostic clinc. A test result came in for an ex-eployee and several of the ofiice employees were talking about the ex-ployees test. I contacted this ex-ployee and told her what happened and she was upset and said her privacy rights had been violated and the hipaa laws were broken. My employer found out I called her and said I should not have called her and is reprimanding me and possibly bringing legal action against me. Can my employer bring legal action against me for informing the patient/ex-employee that her rights were violated?
