I work in hospital admin, and we rolled out Tigertext.com to all our doctors so they could send patient info and still be HIPAA complaint so the hospital wouldn't get sued. We had to bring each doctor in to show them how to install the app, and use it. It is very simple and easy to use, but the real challenge was that each doctor had all these reasons why they didn't want to use it, or use it correctly. The way we got them to really understand it, is our lawyer reviewed with them a case of a doctor getting sued for losing his phone, and the patient info stored in the text messages was released publicly (it was about a celebrity). Make sure you reserve time to educating people as to why they need to follow the security procedure for BYOD, whatever it may be. - John Mann Thu, 05 Apr 2012 08:51:34 +0100
