V.90 - Monty Solomon wrote: By Michelle Hillman / News Staff Writer WAYLAND -- David Rottenberg was alarmed six months ago when he first began receiving faxes at his home office containing private medical information for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, compression fractures and back pain. On Friday, he mistakenly received a fax containing private medical information about a breast cancer patient -- information intended for MetroWest Medical Center's radiology department, not Rottenberg's fax machine. http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/news/local_regional/wayl_records11162003.htmSuch things unfortunately happen a lot. I worked for a company andone of the fax lines that was unpublished, and used only for outgoingfaxes was a simple transposition error for the fax machine number at alocal hospital ER. I would find on it at least once a week or so someconfidential medical information on it. I would usually call theoriginating office, if I could figure it out, and inform them of theerror. Usually they would apologize and nothing more was said. I thentook the pages down to the shredder to personally destroy them, havinga health care background, patient confidentiality is somewhat of a hotbutton for me.--Dale
