Confidentiality and Privacy
You are working in an inpatient rehab facility and plan to bring all the old files home to dispose of them since they are 10 years past their last treatment. Upon examining the files, you realize that you had taken the wrong box home. Upon bringing them back to work, you notice a file is missing. You do not know where this patient’s chart is after looking all over the facility, your car, and your home.
What should be your next steps?
