Amazon Aurora and Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Are Now HIPAA-Eligible Services
- gregmac 10y agoI don't work in healthcare, but I have friends that do, and they tell me war stories of dealing with top-level IT executives that say things like "We don't allow unsecure browsers like Chrome or Firefox; only IE8 is allowed". It sounded like even using a SaaS service for some non-critical software was a big challenge. How much acceptance now is there in the healthcare world to use cloud services like AWS?
- kurttheviking 10y agoI work at a company that delivers enterprise healthcare solutions built using AWS I am happy to report things are getting better. We are subject to a variety of audit and compliance processes but many of them are clearly designed around on-prem solutions. In any case, IE8 remains extraordinarily common. What's more common, however, is IE9/IE10 running in IE8 compat mode.
- swalsh 10y agoI think things are getting better, the ONC (established under George W' of all people) is leading a lot of efforts to help digitalize healthcare, and tools for security are part of that. The HHS also has a lot of guidelines helping CTO's who are scared of the severe penalties CFR 45 might bring.
