Topic One: How can #healthIT protect both the privacy and the independence of teen patients? See: http://t.co/fyvfRGht
T1: #healthcare could better regulate #EHR access through single sign on (SSO) tech. Creates audit trail in event of internal breach. #Hitsm

T1: HIT can allow teens to discreetly communicate with physicians regarding topics they’d rather not share with their parents..#HITsm — Mark James (@cardiologyHIT) December 14, 2012
