Data Protection

[Ed Skees]

I've been unable to look around the FreeMEDSoftware.org site today (appears down).  But, I'm curious how FreeMED hands data protection (e.g., HIPPA).  I haven't found anything in the literature yet.

Thank you 

Ed

At the moment, it uses an ACL backend (based on the excellent phpgacl project) to allow and deny access to both pieces of the system and patient records (and components of those patient records). The demo has a lot of that stuff opened up, but it can be locked down pretty well. The relay examines the ACL permissions for a given patient or system component, and only allows data out of the system which matches that criteria.

In its default configuration, a FreeMED system should be fairly well "locked down", including no network access for its MySQL server (which is the Debian default configuration; only allowing local connections).

Jeff thank you.  So far I have a VMware Fusion Fedora 11.10 stock 64-bit image with FreeMED running.  And, I have a Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit images from Canonical Group with FreeMED running on it.  This is allowing me to have a local "play with" copy on my MacBook Pro and an image out for the staff to look over and test drive.

I'm impressed with the quality of thought that has gone into this product.

On a BTW basis where is you documentation-I'd like to start reading how it's used, etc.

Thanks

Ed
