In most of those cases it’s a laptop or other mobile device that should have had disk encryption that didn’t. The problem I have with disk encryption is that I’m not familiar with any really easy to implement, but effective solutions for doing full disk encryption on a device. I’m not talking about enterprise encryption. I’m talking about encryption that can work in the small or even solo medical practice. Not to mention at the small clinic price point too. If you know of a solution, I’d love to hear about it. Related posts:Obama Wants Full EHR by 2014 Obama has held very strong on his commitment of $10... Full CCHIT Certifi...

The group claims that four Abbott videos on YouTube promote its XIENCE V drug-coated stent for use in coronary angioplasty surgery, but fail to mention federally-mandated warnings. Similarly, the Medtronic videos tout the use of its Prestige Cervical Disk for surgery for degenerative disk disease and the Stryker video promotes its Cormet hip resurfacing technology without required warnings. “The videos raise serious questions about whether drug and device compa...

Some links to more information: The Official Palm website Palminfocenter PC Magazine’s first look Initial feedback from the usual Palm forums suggests that the majority are under-whelmed to put it mildly. I think it might be a little premature to nay-say it right now. It does have potential and I do like the instant on feature. Thank goodness too it has Wifi and if 5 hours is accurate, that’s a pretty decent battery life. It is lightweight enough to tote around the clinics and wards. If customised right, it might still be a great device for doctors and nurses to use in hospitals to access the HIS, LIS etc. I’m still digesting the ...
