But the tragedy is that if you do not have the dongle you are confined to the surgery!
Imagine not being able to do internet banking if you did not have a dongle, or your mail etc. This, to me, is the great tragedy of the PKI system as we have it. It only says that you are in a particular location. The location cert came as a result of pressures to have the administrator or practice manager send claims to HIC. You are still confined to a place - the old idea of a phone, for example, being attached to a place rather than, now, a (hand)phone belongs to a person. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dr Hugh Nelson Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 6:59 AM To: General Practice Computing Group Talk Subject: Re: FW: GP Requirements - was [GPCG_TALK] Re: The Dreaming [typocorr ected] This is an important point. HIC were obsessed with getting GP's to do something that would save the HIC money - so much so that our clinic got set up with individual PKI keys and usb dongles and the HIC staffperson didn't think it was necessary to arrange for a Location Certificate. Of course, a location certificate is the one to use if you are sending clinical information securely. If the HIC had worked from the start to enable better clinical communications, then we would all be on board by now.
