| 1.7 | The pharmacy does not effectively protect some confidential materials. It does not always securely store and dispose of its confidential paperwork. |
The consultation room is to be fitted with a lock immediately. There shall be no material with patient data left in the room until such security measures have been implemented. A new protocol for storage and disposal of confidential paperwork has been implemented. Items containing information of a confidential nature are placed in clearly marked baskets (away from public view) and the waste is shredded every evening using a commercial cross shredder. |
