The Red Flags Rule hit two more hurdles recently.

On Oct. 29, 2009, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted summary judgment to the American Bar Association (ABA) to set aside an extended enforcement policy of the controversial Red Flags Rule in the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) as it would have pertained to working lawyers. (American Bar Association v. Federal ...

Maybe next week you'll go for the one with the "Winner: Best Foreign Language Film, 2008 Venice Film Festival" sticker on it. But tonight you're in the mood for a poorly acted and painfully predictable slasher film; the one where the band of promising, carefree teens head for a harmless weekend retreat at idyllic Camp Killmore.

I felt the health care reform news out of Washington last week was decidedly mixed. For those of us who have advocated reform for many, many years, the mere fact that legislation made it past the Senate Finance Committee and one step closer to becoming reality is quite historic. ...

Friends of mine recently returned from a trip abroad. The advanced wireless infrastructures found in these third-world countries both astounded and pleased them. By unintentionally leapfrogging the technological revolution, these cities had bypassed ...

There I was on a recent afternoon searching for more details on the term "meaningful use of an electronic health record," when I started poking around YouTube to see if there were any videos by David Blumenthal, MD, MPP, national coordinator for health information technology. Maybe he presented in a public forum and his comments were posted in a video.

What I was surprised to find, instead, ...

The first thing we boys did after disembarking the school bus was head north for the neighborhood 7-Eleven. Liberated from a day of junior high classes and a numbing 30-minute bus ride, we hungered for entertainment. Pinball was the current rage, ...

So, on a strictly sentimental level, it stings a bit when I hear talk -- however on target ...

The Obama administration's "new OSHA" has a simple message for U.S. industry. This message has been delivered loudly and clearly by both Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis and Acting Assistant Secretary for Occupational ...

Admit it. Health information technology (HIT) deployment is headed nowhere fast. Despite the evidence and supply-side rhetoric, demand wanes. Depending on whose study you believe and their definition of HIT, industry adoption of CPOE is languishing ...

California prohibits any person, firm, partnership, association, corporation or limited liability company that accepts credit or debit cards for the transaction of business from printing more than the last five digits of the credit or debit card ...

A recent report by Accountemps caught my attention as the survey revealed some of the most overused (and annoying) workplace words.

I have one that has reached the "annoying" level with me. It is the lovely two-letter word, "so."

The word is used to tie things together, really, not to start out a sentence. See this sentence? I ...

In a recent article on the San Francisco Chronicle's Web site, Dr. Deepak Chopra speculates that a lot of what's wrong with health care today can be attributed to the false notion that more is better. As a society, ...

The hot topic for this summer has been health care reform. It has consumed our Congress as well as most of our national publications and TV/radio talk shows. In spite of all this attention, we still do not have a solution. In my view, we have ...

While the temperature on the thermometer is registering summer (upper 80s and humid), there's no question that the summer is winding down. My daughter's summer camp just ended and we've already hit the supply aisle at Target for the best deals on back-to-school items for my middle schooler and high school sophomore.

But, where has the summer gone? For those of us along the mid-Atlantic region of the country, ...
