Hi Greg,
Working from home, on week-ends and doing Bulkbilling with the
elbow while changing nappies is becoming increasingly common as you
mentioned below.
Insight saves the user the need to setup a VPN by providing native
SSL remote access support using 1024 bits RSA certificates for
encryption. Including support for IP based or certificate based
client authentication. If the practice has a registered domain
name, it can be bound to the IP address for worldwide access from
any Web browser.
It is easy to use and very secure, the network only has to open
port 80/443 in the first firewall and let the traffic through. SQL
injection and other stuff is filtered out.

Mario,
Sounds good, but my GPs also want to reach their MD database, which
I should have mentioned, for things like medico-legal reports.
Maybe in a larger centre the GPs might want a VPN and the PM might
only need your system.
We have a lot more GPs with clinical systems than PM software,
because of the PIP incentives, and the promotion. Smaller practices
in a 90% + bulk-billing area like ours often still batch manually.
Also, how the two types of applications relate in practices is an
ongoing issue, and while HCN promotes the MD/Pracsoft 'common
database', I feel that Pracsoft lets them down badly. Other
'integrated' packages are less common, because they are too costly
for most.

I have some GPs who VPN in from home using hardware-based VPN
technology, but this is so they can work from home and login for
clinical info in an emergency. Great to be able to do the Online
claiming and accounts in your pyjamas in the home office, after
putting the toddlers to bed.

The SSH RDP access PeteM setup for us works well. (I think this has
been well covered in past discussions some time back.) Gives us
complete access to all surgery computers remotely if needed. Prevents
the security headaches with VPNs. Main worry for me with VPN is
ensuring security of the remote network who has ready access to
insecure wireless hardware.
It became abundantly clear trying to write the security policy that
the number of constraints required to ensure security of the remote
VPN site was more hassle than it was worth.
