I really don't want to think about the security and privacy hazards
associated with restoring a database chock full of highly
confidential,
fully identified patient medical data onto a teenager's home PC... Or
any home PC, for that matter, given that the degree of physical,
anti-virus/anti-trojan and firewall protection afforded to home PCs
rarely meets the standard required for general practice computer
networks.
Does anyone else see a problem with what Cedric is suggesting?
No, doctors are smart people, they don't have PCs at home. I'm sure
it will be going onto an encrypted virtual machine on their Mac or
Linux computer, without network contact to the outside world.
Or at least it will be come accreditation standards V4.
