Ransom ware is here to stay and suggesting that anyone is not vulnerable is risky. Technology in healthcare is ubiquitous and all of the unintended consequences still are not all known.
Before the push to move to EMRs no one would have considered having a forensics expert specific to EMRs. EMR forensics is becoming a skill that is in demand based on the number of contacts I am receiving. No one ever thought there is a need to have a technical expert explain the date and time stamps, sequence of events and audit trails. In this highly litigious society, there is a new field coming to light.
Could you add a response for "I am not a Nuance user, but I read HIStalk and I love taking polls"?
