Kentucky News: Disposal of Patient Information
Published in the March 2007 Kentucky Board of Pharmacy Newsletter
The Board office has recently been made aware of some news media reports concerning pharmacies that have become lax in their management of patient data and information. Numerous examples were found at pharmacies across the country of patient information discarded with the routine trash and left unsecured in outside disposal areas.
Each pharmacy should take appropriate measures to protect and maintain patient confidentiality through proper and appropriate disposal policies and procedures.
