Comment on Nimbus Health on Cloud Security & Scale by Justin Wilcox

We use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to transmit encrypted data from the client machine to the server. On disk, we use standard encryption mechanisms.

Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any further questions (JustinW at our domain name).

Some problem as Joe but was able to view the presentation on Prezi. I was wondering if your invitation for a chat was still open? I was wondering how you handled security (encryption) of PHI data.

Thanks,
Mark

Yeah, would definitely be nice to record a voice over with the a Prezi.

Yes, we use SQL hosted on EC2 (AWS hosted) machines.

Feel free to shoot me a mail if you’d like to chat in more detail.

That worked. Thanks. Maybe I just didn’t know what to expect.

There was no voice-over; I’m not sure if there should have been.

I was wondering, where is your database that supports those machines on Amazon? Is it on Amazon too?

Sorry to hear that Joe, appears to be working for me. Do you have flash installed and if so, what happens when you try to view the presentation here: http://prezi.com/sgqgmv5nil_r/nimbus-health-aws/

Thanks,

Comment on Our Thoughts on the Draft Meaningful Use Certification Testing Criteria by justinwi

Thanks for the question Scott. I have not received an official response, although the good people at NIST referred our question to the ONC where it is currently waiting.

That said, it’s our interpretation that the final version of the Meaningful Use requirements make it very clear: a patient must have access to both a human readable copy of their health information, as well as a CCD or CCR.

Here’s the pertinent section from ONC’s response to comments:

“Yes, in order to meet this certification criterion, Certified EHR Technology must be able to generate an electronic copy that is in human readable format and as a CCD or CCR. If Certified EHR Technology is capable of generating one copy that could meet both of these requirements, we would consider that to be a compliant implementation of this capability.”

Page 146 of http://www.ofr.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2010-17210_PI.pdf.

Not precisely the answer we were looking for, but it’s an answer, and now we can proceed with.

Feel free to shoot me a mail, or reply here, if you’d like chat about this further.

Have you received a response from NIST on requiring CCD/CCR format?
