I read with great interest my colleague Greg Slabodkin's thought-provoking commentary this week about electronic health records and mobile technology. Slabodkin, the editor of FierceMobileHealthcare, noted both the “meteoritic” rise in demand for mobile device EHR applications by physicians and the fact that use of mobile technology could make users more satisfied with their EHRs.
A commenter quickly reacted to express concern that mobile EHR applications, while convenient, are particularly vulnerable to security breaches.
This is true. And that concept has not escaped the government.
