Security breach of the week. I swear I seem to post more articles like this than I ever have on Google or Microsoft, so with the standards each one has as far as keeping the internet secure, I still wonder why we are all beating around the HIPAA security issues with PHRs, as when you protect the...
The article states this is the 6th year in a row that funding has declined for the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The grants and funds available at the NIH are more difficult to secure as well. The NIH has set up it’s own Foundation as well, looking for donations. Last week...

One more tale of corruption and healthcare is right in the middle of this one. If nobody came in with enough to bring to the table the stories say he was going to consider taking the job of senator himself, that being if someone else would find a high paying job for his wife too. The second...

This is a great start in this direction and it is one big task to find all the relative data to get down to perhaps even more drugs that could have off label use, something the FDA wants to be aware of since they are the agency who is there to approve and guide the citizens of the US for safe drug and...
Another updated video on the interface, again it would be nice to have the same visuals at every hospital and perhaps doctor’s offices with the existing programs still running in the background, only the user interface would need to change.

As many as 1200 primary care physicians will participate in the pilot program. There are 2 phases to the project and recruitment of practices will begin in the fall. So far, there’s no mention of the software to be used, and it appears to be left up to the participants selecting a certified...
