The Berkeley breach: Is SaaS the answer?

By Don Leatham

One recent Friday afternoon I took time off to visit two new health providers:  a new dentist (nearer my home) and an orthopedic (to look at my lateral epicondylitis).  In both cases, as a new patient, I filled in page after page of medical history and personal information, including my Social Security Number.   I did pause, but I have to admit I wrote it down both times (I’ve grown weary of the discussions/arguments that ensue if I don’t – I’ve even been denied service from a healthcare provider who felt my SSN was their only tool, should I decide not to pay).
