That means that ‘backdoors’ are right in the code, waiting to be opened. This affects more than the website–but through the hub, states, HHS, IRS and DHS. How did our Washington types find out about it? When a top Belarusian official bragged on state radio about it! Ace intelligence writer Bill Gertz in the Washington Times broke the story.

State policies, size influence hospital telehealth adoption
...teaching hospital status, non-profit status and importantly, whether state regulations promote private payer reimbursement. Another apparent positive in adoption is small population and few hospitals: Alaska (71 percent), Arkansas (71 percent), South Dakota (70 percent), and Maine (69 percent). A major negative factor: restrictive licensure of out-of-state providers that prevent multi-state practice.

Dr. Topol in the AT&T house: a reboot of ForHealth?
David Doherty "The fact that Dr. Topol is remaining as Chief Academic Officer at Scripps Health also indicates that he is no direct replacement for Dr. Nayyar" Thought it might be worth pointing out that Dr Nayyar was only employed in a part time position at AT&T Donna Cusano David, you are correct, however AT&T's original announcement portrayed her as essentially full time with some outside teaching responsibilities. The PatientPoint release is a little different, in that she is maintaining her rheumatology practice as well as teaching at Florida International and George Washington Universities, which makes one wonder if she...

Terminology: do we need another contribution?
David Doherty "Arguably “eHealth” and “mHealth” labels indicate how slow healthcare is in adapting to these new technologies and communication tools because in the financial services sector no one today talks about “eBanking” just banking. In financial services the enabling technology and communication tools have just become a part of the services provided" Really?? In finance they're still only waking up to mMoney. Tim Green has a cracking news site focused on this opportunity that I'd thoroughly recommended for anyone interested: http://www.mobilemoneyrevolution.co.uk/ The paper is correct in that no one is still talking about eBanking but mMoney is a rapidly...

Google Contact Lens for diabetics in development
