Bitlock on mobile devices will be a great feature. I'm sure we will see it some day. Paul, diligence is always a must, and like you I probably would not store my neuropsych test data on there. Thanks for your input.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05669785710529466494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309865206970779445.post-45777846634008617062012-04-29T11:33:09.287-04:002012-04-29T11:33:09.287-04:00These services are simply not designed for high se...These services are simply not designed for high security. So I'd be careful about using them for major health info database applications.<br /><br />That said, they are still useful. If you are writing letters about clients in the office and at home, Dropbox is as secure as the flash drives you are already using. Encrypt the files using software on your own machines, and the data in the cloud will be reasonably secure.<br /><br /> The question is not about HIPPA certification, it's about your level of diligence in your day-to-day routines.<br /><br />--pk---Paul Komarekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912621983524977587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309865206970779445.post-51231571854498795822012-04-29T07:13:49.767-04:002012-04-29T07:13:49.767-04:00The other item to setup on mobile devises and lapt...The other item to setup on mobile devises and laptops with PHI is encryption. This is not available on many devices. And requires add on software for most laptops. <br /><br />Without encryption a lost or stolen device is a reportable loss of PHI.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853243968703982088noreply@blogger.com
