Guardian "walked back the 'direct access' claim made in Greenwald’s original article"

[galileoreloaded]

64. k now i have some time to educate.

I consulted extensively in humint for Electronic Medical Records policy about 3 years ago, who would bitch, privacy concerns, whole shebang. An eye opener was how healthcare providers (labs, imaging, pharmacy) uses electronic dropboxes.

Example:

Labcorp uses a drop box for all its client doctors. I say client doctors for a reason. Labcorp dumps all its records ALL ITS RECORDS into a server on a regular schedule.

The software terminal in your doctors iPad or whatever only looks for records with unique identifiers to that office and returns the output to the dr's office. BTW, your Dr gets a $5-7K "fee" for using that specific company BTW. fun fact.

yes, all the data is there, and it counts on the software terminal "filter" to not get it all, but it happens all the time. its a secure way to avoid corruption into the feeding server, but is inherently insecure as dropboxes aren't monitored nearly as much because its a data throughput point.

but you keep keeping on fighting the good fight. someday you should right a book. I'd buy it.
