            <description>Brain scans (of a sort) are coming to a home near you. Neuromarketing firm EmSense has launched a new service that they say will let them monitor emotional reactions while consumers are at home. Noting that market research is conducted more and more via the Internet, EmSense says its wireless &amp;#8220;EmBand&amp;#8221; monitor can be set [...]

            <description>Our brains like stories. That&amp;#8217;s not a new theme here at Neuromarketing, but now there&amp;#8217;s biometric evidence that supports what the best speakers already know: telling a story keeps the audience engaged. In Avoiding Death by Powerpoint, the Neuro Way, I described how at a recent advertising conference a portion of the attendees were fitted [...]

            <title>Does Risk Management Counsel in Favor of a Biometric Traveler Identity System?</title>

            <description>By Jim HarperWriting on Reason&amp;#8217;s Hit &amp; Run blog, Robert Poole argues that the Transportation Security Administration should use a risk-based approach to security. As I noted in my recent &amp;#8220;&amp;#8216;Strip-or-Grope’ vs. Risk Management&amp;#8221; post, the Department of Homeland Security often talks about risk but fails to actually do risk management. Poole and I agree&amp;#8212;everyone agrees&amp;#8212;that DHS should use risk management. They just don&amp;#8217;t.
With the pleasure of remembering our excellent 2005 Reason debate, &amp;#8220;Transportation Security Aggravation,&amp;#8221; I must again differ with Poole&amp;#8217;s prescription, however.
Poole says TSA should separate travelers into three basic groups (quoting at length):

            <description>By Jim HarperLate last month, the National Research Council released a book entitled Biometric Recognition: Challenges and Opportunities that exposes the many difficulties with biometric identification systems. Popular culture has portrayed biometrics as nearly infallible, but it&amp;#8217;s just not so, the report emphasizes. Especially at scale, biometrics will encounter a lot of challenges, from engineering problems to social and legal considerations.
&amp;#8220;[N]o biometric characteristic, including DNA, is known to be capable of reliably correct individualization over the size of the world&amp;#8217;s population,&amp;#8221; the report says (page 30). As with analog, in-person identification, biometrics produces a probabilistic identification (or exclusion), but not a certain one. Many biometrics ch...</description>

            <description>By Jim HarperSenate Democrats have solidified and given more definition to their plan to create a biometric national ID, the centerpiece of their immigration reform proposal. (For reasons unrelated to the national ID plan, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has dropped out of the picture for now.) The &amp;#8220;Conceptual Proposal for Immigration Reform&amp;#8221; they released last week gives much more detail to the sketchy plans I previously reviewed.
In my Cato Policy Analysis, &amp;#8220;Electronic Employment Eligibility Verification: Franz Kafka&amp;#8217;s Solution for Illegal Immigration,&amp;#8221; I wrote about the possibility of a work authorization document limited to that purpose&amp;#8212;and my doubts that the government would adopt one.

            <description>I&amp;#8217;ve been wanting to write about ePrescribing controlled substances since 9/13/09. In fact, I even did write post about the FDA approving a pilot to do electronic prescribing of controlled substances which I posted on that day. Turns out, it was a press release that was sent to me prematurely, so I hid it from view.
Well, a couple weeks ago, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) released it&amp;#8217;s interim final rule on ePrescribing of controlled substances (PDF). John Halamka described some of the most important details of this rule on his blog:
(a) To sign a controlled substance prescription, the electronic prescription application must require the practitioner to authenticate to the application using an authentication protocol that uses two of the following three factors:

            <title>Schumer and Graham on Immigration Reform: Why Not Do it Without the Biometric National ID?</title>

            <description>By Jim HarperThere is much to commend in the op-ed on immigration reform that Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) published in this morning&amp;#8217;s Washington Post. Unfortunately, they lead with their worst idea: a biometric national ID card, mandatory for all American workers.
Here&amp;#8217;s the good: &amp;#8220;Americans overwhelmingly oppose illegal immigration and support legal immigration,&amp;#8221; they say. &amp;#8220;Throughout our history, immigrants have contributed to making this country more vibrant and economically dynamic.&amp;#8221;
Their plan includes problem-solving proposals: &amp;#8220;creating a process for admitting temporary workers&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;implementing a tough but fair path to legalization.&amp;#8221; The latter would reduce the population of illegal aliens in ...</description>

            <description>If you&amp;#8217;ve been reading EMR and HIPAA for a while, back in 2006 I came across a really cool company called Sensible Vision that does facial recognition software. You can read about my first experience setting up the facial recognition software and my love affair with facial recognition as the best biometric solution.
I admit that I still have a love affair with my facial recognition software. I use it every day when I sit down at my computer. I can&amp;#8217;t imagine not having it. In fact, it&amp;#8217;s almost time to replace my computer and I&amp;#8217;ll be very sad if I can&amp;#8217;t find a way to transfer the software to my new computer. It has its quirks, but I just love the added security that it gives me. I&amp;#8217;m far too lazy to lock my computer screen myself and then log back in, but t...</description>

            <description>Across the globe privacy laws and property rights are confused. Having usually been established in centuries past it is unlikely that any established legal system can cope easily with the requirements of the digital age. Nowhere is this more likely to hold true than when discussing the use of peoples&amp;#8217; biometric information, which are very personal data indeed.
Biometric information might include iris or retinal scans, digitized fingerprints, DNA samples, even lip-recognition knee X-rays, or any of dozens of other measurements and readings that could be collected from an individual and that would be unique to that person.
Yue Liu of the Norwegian Research Center for Computers and Law, in Oslo, suggests that there is a legal precedent for treating biometric information as personal prop...</description>

            <description>We&amp;#8217;ve discussed before the voice recognition software Dragon NaturallySpeaking (Medical and Preferred) and the microphone options and even announced when Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical first came available. It&amp;#8217;s enough to say that we&amp;#8217;re big fans of voice recognition software and Dragon NaturallySpeaking in particular. It&amp;#8217;s a great companion to an EMR or EHR implementation.
Today, I came across the Sony Digital Voice Recorder with Dragon NaturallySpeaking Software and I wondered if any of my readers have used this before. It seems like it could be an interesting way to replace a transcriptionist.
Basically, the doctor would record his notes on this device and then the Dragon NaturallySpeaking software would convert it to text and could be easily placed in the EMR. ...</description>

            <title>Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred Versus Medical</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2187645&amp;cid=t_99691_113_f&amp;fid=34634&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FEmrAndHipaa%2F%7E3%2FSGwBpd8FFwA%2F</link>
            <description>I&amp;#8217;ve always been a little bit skeptical about paying the $1000+ for the medical version of Dragon Naturally Speaking. $1000 just seems like a lot of money to be paying for what seems to amount to some medical dictionaries. However, someone who is very familiar with nuance and Dragon Naturally Speaking told me that doctors should really purchase the DNS Medical or they&amp;#8217;ll end up dissatisfied.
Well, today I was reading the forum on Amazon for Dragon Naturally Speaking which asks if the medical version is worth it for doctors. The responses generally weren&amp;#8217;t worth while, but someone who calls themselves &amp;#8220;Pain Doc&amp;#8221; suggested the following:
I have used DNS for about 7 years. I started with version 6 as I recall. I had my transcriptionist email me the text files fro...</description>

            <title>Wireless Microphones for Dragon Naturally Speaking</title>

            <description>In a recent comment by Tom Hamilton, he gave a nice review of a wireless microphone that can be used with Dragon Naturally Speaking Medical. I figured I&amp;#8217;d been covering enough EMR politics and implementation lately that it was about time to mingle a little bit of technical content in the middle.
I&amp;#8217;ve been told a number of times that if you want to use Dragon Naturally Speaking medical, then finding a high quality microphone is absolutely essential to a quality voice recognition experience. Check out Tom&amp;#8217;s review of the Samson Stage 5 Wireless microphone. Wireless is definitely the future.

            <title>Selecting a Microphone for Dragon Naturally Speaking Medical 10</title>

            <description>Choosing a microphone is one of the most important decisions you can make when implementing a speech recognition software like Dragon Naturally Speaking Medical 10. Thanks to Eric over at Speech Recognition I&amp;#8217;ve gotten some interesting information about a microphone called the PowerMic II. Looks like it&amp;#8217;s a microphone on steroids. Definitely one other microphone to consider when selecting a microphone to use with voice recognition software. Here&amp;#8217;s an overview of the PowerMic II utilized with Dragon Medical 10 thanks to 1450, Inc. with commentary by Jay Goodfellow.
OVERVIEW:
The PowerMic II is a speech recognition microphone designed to be used with Dragon Medical 10.
However, the PowerMic II is much more than a hand held microphone. It is a powerful tool that enhances a p...</description>

            <title>Funny Video About Dragon Naturally Speaking (DNS)</title>

            <description>Lately, I&amp;#8217;ve been getting a ton of traffic with people looking for Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Medical (DNS 10 Medical). Well, in honor of the launch of DNS 10 Medical, here&amp;#8217;s this video that all doctors should appreciate if they&amp;#8217;ve used Dragon Naturally speaking in the clinical environment before (even if the final &amp;#8220;doctor&amp;#8221; does a bad job acting and feels like he&amp;#8217;s trying to sell the software).

If anyone else wants to do a review of Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 medical, please let me know and I&amp;#8217;d love to have you do a guest post on it. Especially in the context of Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 medical being used in an EMR.
Thanks Eric for pointing me to the movie. (Source: EMR and HIPAA)</description>

            <title>Dragon NaturallySpeaking (Medical) Version 10 Available</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1708835&amp;cid=t_99691_113_f&amp;fid=34634&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emrandhipaa.com%2Femr-and-hipaa%2F2008%2F08%2F14%2Fdragon-naturallyspeaking-medical-version-10-available%2F</link>
            <description>NaturallySpeaking (Medical) Version 10 is now available. Have any of the EMR and HIPAA readers used DNS 10? I&amp;#8217;d be interested to know people&amp;#8217;s reviews of DNS 10 as compared to 9. Luckily the upgrade is relatively inexpensive to go from one version to the next, but I&amp;#8217;d be interested to hear people&amp;#8217;s experience with DNS 10.
One of my blog readers already did their KnowBrainer 7 page pictorial preliminary review of DNS 10. Too bad the pictorial review is a pdf file. Also, that review is pretty technical, so if you&amp;#8217;ve never used DNS before, then I wouldn&amp;#8217;t suggest reading that review. (Source: EMR and HIPAA)</description>

            <title>Electronically Signed Lab Results in Your EMR</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1449232&amp;cid=t_99691_113_f&amp;fid=34634&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emrandhipaa.com%2Fadministrator%2F2008%2F05%2F16%2Felectronically-signed-lab-results-in-your-emr%2F</link>
            <description>My guess is that many of you are using an HL7 interface between your EMR and your lab. How does your EMR handle the signing of lab results?
We worked for an entire year testing, making requests, testing, more requests and more testing before we were able to launch an interface between our lab and EMR, but it&amp;#8217;s been one of the best things we&amp;#8217;ve done. The reason it took so long is the topic of another post, but it was for good reason.
One of the best advantages to a lab interface with your EMR is that you don&amp;#8217;t have to worry about what to do with all those paper labs that you&amp;#8217;ve signed. Inevitably all those signed paper labs will have to be scanned and attached to a patient in your EMR.
Really, that&amp;#8217;s why a lab interface is so much better. The interface inserts ...</description>

            <title>Biometric Authentication Using Typing Behavior</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1282179&amp;cid=t_99691_113_f&amp;fid=34634&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emrandhipaa.com%2Femr-and-hipaa%2F2008%2F03%2F05%2Fbiometric-authentication-using-typing-behavior%2F</link>
            <description>I&amp;#8217;ve been pretty outspoken about my love for biometrics in healthcare. In particular I couldn&amp;#8217;t imagine my computer without facial recognition, but I&amp;#8217;ve also enjoyed playing around with biometric fingerprint readers and proximity readers too. Sorry, no retina scans yet. Anyone willing to send me one?
Today I came across a new biometric authentication method that recognizes a person&amp;#8217;s typing behavior. Techcrunch described it as folows:
It’s a Flash-based interface that compares your typing style against a list of known styles and logs you in based on your individual typing fingerprint. To enroll you simply type a sentence nine times and then the system senses the pauses, mistakes, and speed of your hunting and pecking. Obviously, this doesn’t work if you have a b...</description>

            <description>It looks like my previous post about Digital Signatures in an EMR drew quite a bit of interest looking at the stats. Really this isn&amp;#8217;t surprising. How long have we been signing things electronically at Walmart. Longer than I can remember honestly. Sure, Walmart is worth billions of dollars, but the technology isn&amp;#8217;t that expensive. The real advantage that Walmart has is a great legal team.
Setting the legal items aside, the technology of a digital signature is not rocket science by any means. In fact, it&amp;#8217;s the legal questions that are harder mostly because there just hasn&amp;#8217;t been much case law that has dealt with it. Just as a thought, I would highly suggest that whoever reads about this talks with a good legal team before implementing it.
Of course, reading the comme...</description>

            <description>I must admit that when I read the news about Microsoft introducing Surface Computing I really didn&amp;#8217;t look at it from a health care perspective. I could think of 100 cool applications for the technology, but I honestly hadn&amp;#8217;t considered it for the health care field. Of course, leave it to Dr. Bill Crounse, Microsoft Health Care blogger to point out the advantages of surface computing in healthcare.
Here&amp;#8217;s a quote from his post on Microsoft Surface Computing in Health Care:
Yesterday, Microsoft officially launched the first commercial product from a group and technology known as Microsoft surface computing. The product is called Milan; a coffee-table sized PC that takes touch screen technology to entirely new levels and gives users a highly interactive experience with all t...</description>

            <description>I don&amp;#8217;t usually like to post blanket statements like the above, but I&amp;#8217;ve really fallen in love with facial recognition. I absolutely love my facial recognition. I&amp;#8217;ve been working lately with Sensible Vision a vendor of facial recognition software getting the single sign on to work with my EMR package called Medicat. It&amp;#8217;s pretty impressive.
	I brought in the director of the health center to take a look at the single sign on. I opened my EMR application and it pretty much goes straight into the application. The director of the health center pulled one of those &amp;#8220;Ohhh!&amp;#8221; because she was surprised at how quick it was.
	I showed one of the front desk personnel and she said, &amp;#8220;When do we get that?&amp;#8221; As soon as possible was my answer.
