How MedGrocer safeguards employee prescription data
- MedGrocer, as a healthcare company involved in data analytics for large populations, maintains a balance between patient privacy, medical independence, and sharing data with internal and external stakeholders.
- MedGrocer acknowledges that its physicians are entitled to exercise independent clinical judgment in prescribing medications tailored to the specific healthcare needs of patients. While MedGrocer provides prescribing guidelines, its physicians retain the discretion to prescribe medications deemed appropriate for the employees' well-being without undue commercial pressures.
- For the purposes of analysis, reporting, and to support our physicians' independence, MedGrocer disseminates aggregate data concerning the conditions treated. Disclosure of individual prescription details will only occur in the presence of a legitimate medical issue or a suspicion of prescription misuse/abuse related to a specific case.

- Any damage to or loss of or inability to retrieve any data that may be stored in the MedGrocer database.
