Report ID: PSETS0000101438, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Reported Entity: ORLANDO FL - 675
Issue:
Inside Veteran A's pharmacy bag was a medication list for Veteran B. The bag arrived at Veteran A's house on Jan. 8, 2014. Since Veteran A had an appointment today, he chose to inform the clinic staff of the error. He will return the medication list at his afternoon appointment. When the clinic pharmacist heard about the error, she notified the Privacy Office. It appears the pharm bag was mailed directly from our Viera OPC to the Veteran's residence.
Outcome:
03/11/14: The Incident Resolution Team has determined that Veteran B will be sent a HIPAA notification letter due to Protected Health Information (PHI) being disclosed.
