Hi I just moved to the cloud. went very well, small glitches but migrated nicely over 2 days w/o any significant headaches and excellent communication with the ECW side as we did so. I’d give it a 4/5 star experience
1) Does anyone know if I install the ECW client on a employee’s laptop and laptop get’s stolen. Is that a reportable HIPAA violation even though no data on on the laptop and the access is protected via username/password. This hasn’t happened but before I allow my NP to install the client app on her home laptop, I’m curious. Essentially there is no data, just a client that points towards the cloud which has the data and cannot be accessed with the user credentials.
2) Anyone know what ECW is doing to protect versus malware and ransom ware now that more of us are moving to the cloud. Right now, Nuance hospital dictations systems are down across hospitals nationwide, as well as Merck was frozen and Fed Ex deliveries. So all of cloud is vulnerable (almost feels more vulnerable than if I kept hosting it myself). I’ve asked ECW but no response yet.
