Chatroom Banter
Gr8Ideas: @Hal how does this function in the current help zones like Haiti, India, Africa?
justpaul: ## it’s for sure that medical records will one day be in the cloud; however, consumer comfort is not to the point where they are willing to trust their personal data in the cloud. I think this is why Google got out
ericcourville: i trust no one with my records
[9:58pm] justpaul: ## (too early) I am curious what Microsoft thinks it is going to take to get people over that fear?
ScriptingWife: I am not thrilled with all the people in the office knowing everything. Let alone out there where things get hacked
[9:59pm] kobeckman: ## any plans for multi-factor authentication for this?
justpaul: on the other hand my/your/our records are all over the place (current doctors, previous doctors, etc) and there is no audit trail to see who is accessing it.
[10:00pm] justpaul: a case could be made that a centralized location COULD make things more secure
[10:01pm] Gr8Ideas: ## So you know exactly where I am, every day, every moment and with a band every step I take.
[10:01pm] halr9000: it’s scary. It is.
justpaul: ## in the same way that consumers should have access to their personal records, I think they should also have the final say where it is stored. If you were tasked with separating the platform / api from the centralized store, could it be done?
