Hello Everyone,

I have been closely following this issue with the Tiger Team that has been making recommendations for security of 
systems such as this.  Unfortunately HIPAA took a much longer time to get "teeth" than many of the other security 
regulations out there.  As a result, EHR and pharmacy solutions such as this are sometimes not security-centric.  
However, these solutions are currently fighting for "minimal use" certification that requires these companies to prove 
that they have at least some security and privacy built into the application.  Even this rigor is not what educational 
institutions, where multi-regulatory compliance is stronger than most industries, is probably accustomed.  It is a very 
interesting market out there for sure!

I’m working with our Wellness Center and they want to deploy SpeedScript.  I’m running into the same problems and worse.

Let’s see, they don’t want to supply even the minimum by using SSL, how well do you think the rest of their services 
are protected?

Folks,
  Does anyone have any recommendations for pharmacy IVR companies?  I happened to get in on a phone conversation with a 
vendor our school was considering and the vendor was not even happy about providing SSL for web-based logins (along 
with a host of other issues.)  While I do some research in to other vendors  I was hoping there might be some better 
suggestions from security folks who have implemented this technology on their campus.
Thanks!
