Here's a summary of what the study, published in the journal Clinical Infectious diseases, found:
Backed by HRH Princess Haya of Jordan, Johnson & johnson, the Mayo Clinic and the U s. Surgeon general.
a network of doctors and hospitals in northern California, realized that one of the purloined computers contained the electronic medical data for more than four million patients.
the health records of 20,000 Stanford Hospital patients made their way onto a public website after the data were used accidentally as part of a job skills test.
hospitals reported losses or thefts of electronic medical data 364 times from 2010 to 2011 in incidents that affected 18 million patients, according to Associated press reports.
there is little control over who can access it among the thousands of employees who work in a hospital,

ipads still scarce in hospitals; Apple's secret plan to change thatwhen I started writing about biomedical tech,
I figured ipads in hospitals would be the story to follow. And yes, every week or so, there's news of iphone apps for health purposes
But as it turns out, the jury's still out on the usefulness of tablets in hospitals, NPR reports.
At the University of California, San diego Hospital, a physician assistant uses an ipad 2 to update a patient â oe who just received a brand new kidney â oe on his recovery.
and less than 1%of hospitals have fully functional tablet systems. Even at UC San diego, their electronic record system has a read-only app for the ipad (which means it can't be used for entering all new information.
Not to mention major concerns about spotty wireless in hospitals logging doctors off as they move around, distracted doctors,

it requires that hospitals cough up a lot more money. Hospitals won't be willing to do that when they aren't even sure that tablets will make things easier.
The federal government is giving hospitals financial incentives to implement electronic medical records, but the most popular systems don't yet make apps that allow doctors to use the records on a tablet the way they would on a desktop or laptop.

000 tablet users across its network of 152 hospitals. It's not entirely clear why Apple cares so much about doctors.
