I like that answer at least with regards to the electronic part. I am reading too much government edicts regarding security - it gets ridiculous. Once every singly health entity is electronic - I can just imagine how many accidents will happen. Trying to put a policy together - I guess we should also put in our security plan and prevention that we actually have locks on our office doors. As for off site - I will probably just start leaving the external hard drive at work - in a fireproof lock box. However, if we use the I-phone AC app - then that has protected health info on it - maybe I'll just delete it. It is not so much doing common sense protective things - it is the specified "hoops" like a "risk analysis". Geez, I have a 1200 square foot office with my wife and one MA and 3 computers. If somebody wants in at night, they'll get in. I like some of Adam's colorful comments as well - but if I get going too far - I might get visited by a presidential death squad.
