Hi, 
 For Medical records, We need to have some techniques
for privacy and security of medical records. 
Easiest option is as you mention we can have clear
record functionality. It may be not recommended
because we are going to lose history of records.

Other options is special encryption for database. It
is really important for current healthcare datbases.
Another option is mixer of above two, After each
cyle(can be per day/week) all records will clear from
current database and move to encrpted database. That
database can access with some special permissions or
some securtiy measeure.
Any comments or idea?
Thanks

Hi,
yes, sadly there will be always lawbreakers no
matter how hard the penalty is 
:(

Perhaps, what care2x can do in this matter is to
improve its documentation of 
user activities to easily discover and track misuse
and provide the 
authorities the needed data. 

Also, the ability to revert the data to the original
"clean"  status is highly 
desirable.

Sadly this article demonstrates the necessity of
     

the guidelines called
   

HIPAA. In the US identity theft has begun to run
     

rampant. As big a pain
   

in the butt as the rules may be...  not to mention
     

the additional
   

complication.... it does attempt to protect the
     

patient, or at least
   

provide additional legal avenues for the patient
     

to recover damages
   

caused by such activity.
I want to further investigate the legal
     

responsibility and
   

ramifications, specifically to open source
     

software, and its developers.

Working on it on my end we are looking at encryption, scared of clearing 
database due to the fact that we can not change or loose  data.
