If I ran Google, I wouldn't have been so quick to make this change if, indeed, a change was warranted yet. It seems to have been an act to appease Russia, a much bigger market than Ukraine (with or without Crimea). As we...

Considering that hackers are already increasing in sophistication (http://www.hpenterprisesecurity.com/ponemon-study-2013), the addition of more entry points needs to serve as a wake up call that data security is everyone's...

Thanks for the kudos but I'm no genius in that department just wrote about what I saw. Maybe it's that hands on background with writing an EMR years ago and integrating it with billing software that does it for me:) ...

I intensely dislike what I see going on in the UK: Bedroom tax, suss laws, and an unrepresentative ruling class. I am curious though, why it should be Google that censors, and if we allow that to happen (we all oil the wheels...

@MedicalQualk, Interesting that you called it that the HHS Secretary job would prove to be "all about health IT." I suspect she came into office thinking the job was alll about healthcare policy, with IT as a detail that...

I agree, while the intended use might be for law enforcement and security, I can see commercial companies being very interested in the technology to use for customer profiling. For example, if they were able to catch...

Well, in theory, that's what the ICD codes are for. In practice because claims data is so widely available and so consistent as compared to clinical data from EHRs, it is used for many secondary purposes beyond billing. ...
In reply to: Re: ICD-10 different in the U.S.
It is a tricky area and Google (as well as other businesses) will be scrutinized and, as someone else said earlier, condemned no matter which path they choose. Really, I suppose it's up to Ukranians to decide, not us or...

I'm curious, what were Google's options in China? As far as I now Google does not have a standing army and if they want to do any kind of business in China then they have to obey the Chinese government's rules. Not...

The health care act gets US residents closer to universal health care. Still, there are plenty of people who even with this act do not get access to care, either because of shortcomings in the law or by religious doctrine...

I'd be curious to know what the law says about the public display of license plates. Because if the police can keep a database of license plates, private entities can too. They may not have the backend that identifies the...

@Alison_Diana. I do not think it is just about Google, but they are a conduit for free speech, as are the other social medias outlets. The US is a relatively young country and got to learn from many of the mistakes...

One of the most common causes of data getting in the wrong hands is the loss of mobile devices that often contain a frightening amount of private information. I want to share a protection option that worked for me. Tracer...

I totally agree with you, @cumulonimbus. The whole situation in Crimea -- all of Ukraine for that matter -- reminds me of the situation in Czechoslovakia when I was a little girl. My dad, a ham radio operator, was chatting...

I gotta agree with SaneIT here. Google isn't the UN. It's not in the business of making calls on national sovereignty. It seems to be handling the matter about as well as it can.
