I had a wide-ranging conversation about the HIPAA and HITECH rules, and health care privacy and security with Kathi Browne as part of her Health Care Hangouts on Air series.

Here's the blurb:
As technologies like video communications, phone apps, and Google Glass
stir interest as valuable tools in patient care, excitement soon turns

technologies while appeasing those in charge of assuring HIPAA
compliance? The healthcare world is hungry for answers and patients are
eager for better (and more instant) communication. With social media and
communication technology becoming so commonplace, there must be ways
for healthcare to stay technologically current.
