SUMMARY JUDGMENT — WRONGFUL TERMINATION — PUBLIC POLICY — OVERRIDING JUSTIFICATION: The trial court properly awarded summary judgment to the defendant-employer hospital on the plaintiff-employee's claim for wrongful termination in violation of public policy where the employer demonstrated that it terminated the plaintiff for her unauthorized access of a patient's private health information and the plaintiff failed to present evidence creating a genuine issue of material fact as to the employer's overriding business justification for the termination.
