How secure is the DPV System which provides emergency departments with access to ODB recipients drug claims history?
It is very secure. Only those hospitals which have entered into a data access agreement with the Ministry and are connected to the Smart Systems for Health Agency’s (SSHA) secure network will be provided access to ODB drug claims history. This access will be through the DPV System which enables the secure sharing of information. All users of the DPV System must be identified, registered, and have proper authorization to gain access to ODB and TDP drug claims history. The DPV System will be maintained and operated on an ongoing basis under the direction of the Ministry. In addition, the Ministry will maintain a record of each authorization that is granted to view an ODB recipient’s drug claims history at an emergency department.
