This
was brought up in San Diego by the folks from OCR. One of them said her
owned doctor accused her of being "one of those people who are making us put
locks on our file cabinets." She stated that the requirement is to keep
the PHI private. If the file cabinet is in a patient area, it might be
wise to lock it. If it is out of a public area, the location may be all
that is needed to keep it private.

cleaning company should sign a BAA.

Subject: Unlocked charts
Do charts have to locked up if they are within the area of the practice to which no one but employees who may need them have access? The cleaning crew would be in the same area at night.
Thanks very much.
