I have been doing quite a lot of work lately on setting up redundant network attached servers and cloud storage systems for what is now about 2TB of data. It has been increasingly clear to me that none of the systems I see would be adequate for the panacea that everyone thinks EMR’s are. I predict we are in for a huge wave of data security breeches at best and total data losses at worst. many docs using EMR’s I’ve seen have woefully inadequate data security and backup plans.
Just reported: another day, another privacy breach. New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Medical Center “inadvertently” posted the personal information of about 6,800 patients–including names, clinical data and 10 social security numbers–online, reports the New York Times. While the breach was discovered in July (after a patient’s relative saw the information online), the hospital and medical center didn’t announce the problem until yesterday because of an ongoing investigation.
The personal information was accidentally placed on a server, but has since been removed, the hospital said in a statement.
During the breach, exposed data such as names, ages, surgical status, temperature and pulse became accessible to search engines, Myrna Manners, a NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital spokeswoman told the Times. Patient diagnoses were not disclosed, she noted.
Very good news, thanks
Really nice one. I really like this.
that is wonderful..

Hi Steven F. Palter, MD.! I am Viktor Kotris and I would be glad to exchange links with you,if you are interested,my blog is small and quite new but I think it has a great potential.It is also about health. Here is the adress: hm-encyclopedia.blogspot.com/ My e-mail: acodoricic@gmail.com
Thank you very much.
Redox Signaling Breakthrough
Word is getting out, and athletes everywhere are trying ASEA. They’re getting huge results, and they’re even submitting articles to magazines about the performance difference ASEA can make.
We’ve been reviewed on bicycle.net, and right now, there’s an article in Road Bike Action magazine about athletes who took a three-month trial of the product. What they found is exactly in line with what our research shows: that ASEA increases time to ventilator threshold (the point in your workout when your body finds other energy sources because it can’t bring in enough oxygen to fuel your muscles) by an average of 12%, and with some individuals up to 30%. What does that even mean? Read what Road Bike Action magazine says in plain English: “We could pedal harder longer and recover from repeated, 100-percent efforts in ridiculously short intervals.”
Sixteen years of foundational research led to the creation of the first and only perfectly balanced mixture of stabilized Redox Signaling molecules that exists outside the body. In case you haven’t heard of Redox Signaling molecules, they’re what your body creates to support the vital functions of the immune system. They’re so important that the body manufactures its own supply within the cells.
One set of these molecules is responsible for activating antioxidants. Here’s the deal: no matter how many antioxidants you ingest, they can’t fight even one free radical until they’re activated, so these molecules are important. The other set of molecules are essential for cellular communication, cellular protection, and the healing response. So it’s easy to see why your own body makes these molecules. And until now, the body was the only source.
ASEA is a non-toxic, perfectly balanced mixture of Redox Signaling molecules, similar to those constantly produced by all living healthy cells. ASEA enhances and activates the native antioxidants needed to protect and detoxify the cells and at the same time supplements the signaling molecules needed to repair or replace damaged cells and restore healthy tissue and immune function.
What could ASEA do for you and your clients?

I know that EMR’s are constant and strong headaches, but I always try to see the positive point of those situations or problems I face at work and you should do the same pal!
thanks
Whew! Good thing that was resolved. Any idea on how likely this would happen again? Hope it’s low, if not zero… -.-
