Inappropriate of insufficient to what purpose and to
what goal. If to eliminate potential legal liability, and you end of up in court
as a defendant, it would not provide you with any protection whatsoever. So,
what are you trying to accomplish by using such a disclaimer....avoid legal
liability or receive reduce liability insurance premium
rates?

Subject: Re: faxes
To me, this is an appropriate safeguard for faxes. I work in the pharmacy and higher education industries.
This message, or something similar, is pretty much the industry standard, for at least the independent pharmacies, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, consultant pharmacists, and universities that I am affiliated with.
A similar disclaimer is at the signature line of the emails at my university and also emails of the businesses with which I work. Are you suggesting that each time a fax is sent from say our pharmacy to a nursing home we do business with that we have to send and receive a confirmation of some sort before we send PHI. If that is the case, it does not preclude a person who received the message in error from confirming that they are indeed the intended receiver of the email or fax message.
We do not utilize fax service, we do however use the fax as our primary means of transmitting physician orders, face sheets, and prescription refills to the pharmacy.
Please, let me know if this disclaimer is inappropriate or insufficient.

In my mind, this is not an appropriate privacy safeguard. The question I propose to the group is whether a CE should implement a process to first validate fax numbers before transmitting documents.
