At least in the case of subscriptions I looked at: 1) It's a continually updated file, so if you didn't subscribe you wouldn't get new data weekly/monthly. Likely the subscription …

It's rough. We thought about switching to Microsoft Teams and we realized that so many decisions about our relatively young company were tucked in DMs and private channels in Slack…

I agree that some folks often exaggerate the danger in HIPAA, especially for someone like OP with a relatively small operation. But, for companies with larger operations and reach …

Our company had early access to this product and I was impressed by it. Our company had built our own FHIR datastore and I can attest to the fact that it's a more complex endeavor …

It's not necessarily liability, but it is shared responsibility. Someone validating that they will take responsibility for parts of your stack can be very important, especially at …

I love Mirth and the community that's built around it. Thank you very much for all the work you did on the project.

HL7v2 was invented in 1989. It was invented to meet the needs of then intra-operability between existing HIS systems. HL7 itself is a open organization comprised of a variety of me…

Is this not the full version? https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-onenote/id78480155... It's not quite as feature complete if you're not using Office, but it's still pretty h…

Of course. I mostly wanted to get something out quickly. Those are all a bunch of small snippets of ROS and Physical Exams which demonstrate many of the things which the article di…

The textbook answer is typically that there is exponentially more data in unstructured data, but I agree with you. I thought about the unmodified use cases for this tooling for awh…

If you want to play with this and you're looking for a decent sample exam note, I grabbed some pieces of standard looking notes (Physical, ROS, Hand exam) and tossed them into a gi…

That's actually pretty common, especially for older physicians or high-volume specialists. There are also some companies working on solutions to automate this using in-room speech …

De-identified data and data contributed by people (read, not Covered Entities) is not covered by HIPAA. Someone could build a database of procedure cost comprised of these data set…

> Sounds like they didn't buy the database. RxNorm (the codes discussed) is wholly open source. You can download weekly and monthly updates for free. Just pure laziness/avarice. ht…

The developer loaded the hard-coded data to evade detection and the PM oversaw the process where the data was validated against the government's test harness for Meaningful Use. I …

SiriKit only supports a limited number of domains and intents, of which playing music is not one of them.

No Spotify, no buy. Being locked into Apple Music is a non-starter for me. It's still mindboggling to me that Siri can't/won't interface with my Spotify account. My lowly Amazon Ec…

Not at all. There are APIs and also a data transfer protocol called Direct that can facilitate that data exchange in healthcare. You've just got to follow the rules of the road wrt…

HIPAA doesn't care about the logistics of whether or not the intermediary can/cannot decrypt the data. If the intermediary touches the data and it's not exempt by the conduit excep…

Phone carriers are exempted under the carrier exception of HIPAA. Same thing with phone calls. API transactions are not exempted, even when encryption is used or data is not persis…

I wouldn't think that a Fax API provider would be exempt under the conduit exception of HIPAA/HITECH. You couldn't guarantee that the API vendor wasn't sniffing/storing/protecting …

We open-sourced all of our docs where I work. As previously noted, it's no substitute for a lawyer if something serious is really on the line, but it's probably a good place to get…

I thought that the Carvana trade-in onboarding was pure magic. A "custom" video that described the valuation of my car was so cool that even though I ended up trading in my car wit…

Does anyone know if there is support for CTIA headphones on the OnePlus Two (and Three?). I really loved my OPO, but not having Mic support on existing headphones I already owned w…
