No, because anyone who works at the facility can easily pick the paperwork up with all the patient´s sensitive information and disclose it to third parties. They can use it for insecure procedures, which in advance will affect a negative way and maybe cause law problems not only to the physicians and health care professionals and providers but also to the health facility.

This question is too easy for anyone will realise that sensitive information about someone's health condition or status cannot be left where anyone could pick it up, read it, and disseminate the contents to others. There are firms that specialise in shredding documents with sensitive information and that is the best way of dealing with documents that no longer need to be used, but have private information. Answer = false
