Patient Portals: Connecting Communities of Care

Connecting patient health data across the care continuum is essential to achieve
improved care, increased access to personal health records and lowered costs. A
successful approach rests in having the hospital serve as the connectivity hub
for bringing patients, care givers and healthcare professionals together in a
secure, online environment.

controversy about the government's involvement in setting security standards.

Richi Jennings: W00t! Jailbreak iPhone 5S untethered (and everything else on iOS 7--7.0.4)


evasi0n untethered jailbreak ready for action.
Want to jailbreak your iOS7-equipped iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or iKitchenSink?
Now you should be ready to escape from Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) pomaceous walled
garden of parody-free, sexless, family friendliness. Even iOS 7.1 beta 2 is said
to work. But you might want to wait a few days for things to settle down before
you download it. In IT Blogwatch, impatient bloggers live on the bleeding edge.
