Information Governance “IG”

by | Sep 13, 2012 | Blog, Community Pharmacy

Have you audited your IG documentation and processes? Pharmacies will be required to make another online declaration by the end of March 2013?
Did you leave unfinished work at the time of your last declaration? Do not leave it to the last moment, conduct an audit, produce a plan and be ready for March next year.  If you need help with your audit, Pharmacy Consulting can help you .

Some areas you might want to consider :-

  1. Who is your IG lead?
  2. Are all your documents in order and in my  IG file?
  3. Do you leave patient identifiable documents on the bench at
    the end of the day?
  4. Do you use  a “Safe Haven fax” ?
  5. Are all your incidents reported and do you, hold team briefs
    to discuss the actions and learns?
  6. Have you trained your staff? Do they have a training file?
    Do they know about “The Code of Confidentiality “
  7. Do you cross shred all confidential data?
