This week the presentation on United Health Group was interesting to me because I work for Health First. Some of the problems stated are familiar to me. I think KeySurvey is a pretty good way to collect the information needed. This not only works for healthcare businesses but any other business out there. The groups mentioned about HIPAA and I just recently found out about that at work. When my supervisor called me into the room the other week, I thought I was in trouble but he just wanted to let me know about HIPAA and that I had to store the documents in locked cabinets before I leave work. And today I came across an article on the web about this interesting new software at http://blogstoday.com/technologlice/?loc+interstitialskip.
It’s a pen-sized scanner that scans in color and is quick. The name is Planon DocuPen RC800 pen scanner. I find this to be a very useful and portable piece of technology. I can bring it anywhere and scan notes, books, or interesting articles in the paper that I want to read later and not have to carry the paper or the heavy books. It’s very convenient. However there is one flaw that I though of. Since it is so portable, people can bring it to work and scan confidential documents. It is great that technology is growing so quick and being more efficient and portable but that also causes crimes to be done easier. Especially privacy matters just like those mentioned in class about HIPAA for the United Health Group and the presentation on McGraw-Hill about the Internet piracy.
