  3. A Passionate Defense Of Scribes 1/23/2015

    It is clear there is a major amount of tension around the cumbersome technology associated with most EHRs. Unfortunately, some are blaming the technology’s limitations on the ever-popular Medical Scribe.

  4. VNA: A Better Way To Archive 1/16/2015

    Given today’s broad healthcare challenges, it’s hard to be neutral about Vendor Neutral Archiving (VNA).

    It’s been said time and again: healthcare regulations are a virtual alphabet/number soup. Entire books can be written about HIPAA regulations alone, so we’ll leave those aside for now. ISO 27001, ISO 27002, and ISO 27799 are only a few of the regulations required to protect individuals’ healthcare data. Noncompliance doesn’t only risk data loss, it also means you can incur large fines, individual, and class action lawsuits with massive punitive damages – and even be shut down.
