Medical Data in the Cloud

I just ran across a three-part series of articles by Practice Fusion:

Medical Data in the Internet “cloud”:

• (part 1) – Data Safety
• (part 2) – Data Security
• (part 3) – Data Privacy

Being an EMR in the cloud requires Practice Fusion to address these issues in depth. If you're thinking about putting health information in the cloud like I've previously discussed, these articles are worth a careful read.
