Nevada News: Disposal of Patient Information
In November 2006, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® informed the Board of the following:
It has come to our attention through the efforts of NBC Affiliate, Channel 13 Indiana reporter Bob Segall, that the problem has resurfaced or pharmacies have become lax in their management of patient data and information. Mr Segall found numerous examples in pharmacies across the country of patient information discarded with the routine trash and left unsecured in outside disposal areas. The findings were troubling and something that should have been addressed in the best interest of patient safety and confidentiality.
Please review and reassess your disposal policies and procedures with respect to protecting and maintaining patient confidentiality.
