When that fails so if that internet I mean if that internal network fails your computer with a client server system your computers that you have with the software on them can’t talk to the server they can’t work. They can access data they’re useless. Again you have to hire some off-site tech support even if it’s a patient then you have to find the patient get them in the office and hopefully they can reconfigure this whole thing. And if they do even if you do find a person they comment yours let’s say you call geek squad or something from bestbuy they come in the first thing I do is explain this whole thing to them. Explain your software they have to find the recovery disks they have to do all this stuff then they have to determine is your data wiped out. You’ve to restore the data is your server fried there’s a user if you need user then there’s a diagnostic process that could take hours. Could take you a whole day just to go to the spot just to figure out what they have to do before they even get to it. With our system with a web-based platform again you’re logging in anytime anywhere all you have to do is get on the internet. So there is no internal network effect there’s no problem 24-7 on-site support. Let’s say our data center for some reason it survived Hurricane sandy but for some reason there’s God forbid some other catastrophe that knocks down one of the data centers. So I’ll have to knock down all of our data centers but let’s say it that happen too, in a data center you understand that there’s power backups there’s redundancy on top of redundancy and the people it’s men 24-7 by technical support people. So the odds of the entire data center is going to go down are very small but let’s say just our servers went down in a data center. There’s people there that know our product that know our servers that know exactly how they’re configured and are there their sole job is to restore these things. All right of course we have redundancy and the data backup and the software backups and we have not only in each data center but off site as well. So the likelihood that our network on our in our data center go down it’s going to have even close to the amount of down time that you would have is almost none we’ve had a very very very little downtime in the eighth plus years we’ve been in business. Definitely I don’t think any downtime that our clients have noticed in any real way. Though internal network failure again web-based platform wins hands down.

Power outages happen much more frequently now with in practices. So system is non-operational you have a client service system that servers down all the computers are down everything is down even if you have laptops with batteries they can’t access the server so they don’t work the system your software still won’t work. You know if you have a laptop with a battery. So power outage is often accompanied by power surges which can damage your servers so again I practiced in Florida for a while. The power used to go out three o’clock every day when we had a thunderstorm right so the power would go out our battery backups would kick in our computers will be up and running client server systems that can also short out your server. If your server gets short out your datas wiped out yet that again go to that whole process of restoring your data hopefully not having to but you might have to replace your server. Reconfigure the database reconfigure your network the whole night and against who’s going to do that for you. Power surges disrupt internal networks which can take valuable time to set back up. Alright so once that internal network is down you’re not the best person to set that back up. Now with a web-based platform you can use a laptop until the power comes back on and in this case you’re not dependent on the server also being back up because you can also run the entire internet connection through your cell phone. They even have wireless cards you can run that are just dedicated little you can buy them from any of the cell phone carriers they’re called Wi-Fi cards Verizon and you all of them have it you just turn this thing on and you can run multiple computers off of it. If it runs just like a cell phone only the only thing it does is Wi-Fi. So power up powers out turn on your laptops and your cell phone and you don’t miss a step. So no servers needed no network needed so even in a power outage the advantage is with a web-based system so for both for internet down time and the power outage. All things considered by far the web-based platform is the better option. Now remember that all these other things cost you time on the client server side costs you time, energy, stress and definitely cost you money.

All right so what happens if you lose the internet? With a client service system I got this again all the time and all the time the only people you’ve ever learned of whether or not an internet-based system or web-based system is better for you.So where this misconception comes from a lot of times is from the only education you’ve gotten is from somebody that sells a client-server system. So the client server system your updates are not available so you can’t get the updates that’s the worst thing that can happen if your internet goes down. With our system the internet going down in your office is not the end of the world anymore. Maybe five years ago that was a little bit harder than it is now but I can run an entire practice off with an iphone. With wireless internet connection and that is still one hundred percent data encrypted everything is still one hundred percent HIPAA compliant everything is still good so with a client server system. Worst case as you can’t get your updates worst case with the internet system web-based system is you can’t get on the system your can’t access your data for a little bit of time but again if your crash box I call it I used to work in the in as a waiter when I was younger as a student and we had a crash box if the power went out or something there was a crash box and you to open it and their pens and pencils and old school order forms you see if diners and things you could still run your business off of calculators. The crash box for a web-based platform when the internet goes down is your iphone. And then your systems right back up and running as long as you set it up that way from the beginning it should be no problem.

So internal network on your on the client server side you have an internal network and online intake is susceptible to that. So your internal network is your internal network you have to maintain those firewalls they’re much easier to hacks it’s much easier to hack it your your network in your office than it is to pack the client a web-based system. Now for some systems they doubt that they have a way patients can fill things in online nice for client server system. Well that adds another susceptibility to your practice that’s another portal a hacker can get into. Client server systems are actually less secure if it was a web-based platform like ours and you have a client patient that wants to fill in forms online the entire network is one. It’s seamless right see so the data security and the ability to hack in is lower with a web-based system. If the firewall breaks down it’s your responsibility so a lot of insurance companies a liability cover companies have a liability coverage for data hacking. That it’s becoming more and more prevalent you should check with your carrier right now and we actually have it. Every doctor who has a client-server system should get it because if the fire if your system is hacked and the data is hacked into it’s actually your responsibility. You have to show that you did everything possible to actually maintain that firewall and the security that Network. And as you know networks change technology changes HIPAA compliance changes the odds that you’re going to keep up with all of those requirements and actually be up to speed on need protection and the security of your network is low. Let’s be honest we’re busy we’re running practices it’s the last thing you want to do. Think about and it’s the last thing you’re going to get to that means you susceptible with a web-based platform it’s a hundred percent data encryption. All the time up to speed with HIPAA compliance. It’s what we do we one of the main core confidences competencies of our business is to make sure our data is always packed up and encrypted in to speed with all the HIPAA requirements government requires requirements as as the technology changes that were always up to speed with that. In this case liability coverage is always a good idea i’m not saying you don’t have to have it. I don’t want to put that out there but what you have to show in the case where your data is compromised is that you took every measure possible to secure it. So if you have a system like a web-based platform that is doing this for you. And we have a contract together that’s part of our agreement that we’re going to maintain your data up to the security measures that were supposed to. So the on us is really on us a decade now. The theory that well your data can get hacked no matter what that’s true it can always get hacked no matter what. The question is not whether or not data gets hacked that the question is where is the bigger liability and bigger likelihood. The bigger likelihood is definitely on a client server system the bigger liability is going to be on you if you have a client server system.

I’ve heard this a million times that’s just not true whether or not you own the data. You own your data with a client server system that data that’s in that server that’s in your office of course you own it. You change systems old server and the data you need has to be maintained by you and you still have to keep that server with the old software or some version of that license. On that server they don’t tell you that comes with a cost so even if you want to switch off of their system they’re going to still make you pay something to keep a version of their software in case you want to get to that data. A lot of systems out there charge you well over I think it’s like fifteen hundred dollars just to have a version where you can get to your notes and then you have you have to keep that. So if you want to access your past records it’s difficult so now imagine you want to switch systems even to another client server system that means two servers that you have to maintain two data bases that you have to maintain. And if something happens it compounds the problem not to mention the additional cost. Our system any system you own the debt but HIPAA rules you own the data whether it’s the met the question is whether or not you want to get to the data and if you do how do you get to it if you don’t what is the cost of not getting to that data when when you don’t need it. With our system you don’t have to pay us anything let’s say you were a client of ours and you left. You don’t have to pay us anything until you need that data so of course you can before you leave our system if you want to go on a new system you can download as much as you want you can print patient charts on PDFs you can keep all that in your in your office you can export Excel spreadsheet you can get all the data you want. But what if you want that up three years from now for a patient file because of some litigation or a patient needs the data whatever the case may be and you want to get to it. We don’t charge you 15 hundred dollars two thousand dollars just to keep a license just so you can maintain the license on your server and keep that on as on you the whole time and have to worry about HIPAA etc and then when you need it three years from now. Remember how to get to it and hope it’s still there. A lot of times what we’ll do first of all we keep all that data and we have to buy HIPAA law. You can access at any time a lot of times what we’ll do is we’ll charge a doctor to get access to the system for the month. That they need it will we usually just charge per month and something like ninety nine dollars for the month and you get all the charts again that you need if I was three years from now you just you get everything you need and and then it’s over. But you don’t pay us unless you need it. So in either case this whole misconception that you don’t own data or you do own that just because your system is client server based or web-based there’s there’s no correlation to you owning the data to the type of system you have. You own the data you can get to it the question is what are you going to what are you going to do when you need the data in the future what’s going to be the process for you which is more inconvenient what’s more costly to maintain clearly is the client server system is much more costly much more time consuming. Data ownership is a web-based side is again a winner.

We can figure all your computers and your network and hopefully at that point you’re up and running in and went smoothly everybody knows that in any process there’s always some kind of glitch.

The old time the old days they used to tell you to back it up in a local hard drive but if something happens to your office you lose both servers and you lose the backup you’re supposed to bring that home every night. You supposed to do it once a week every day it doesn’t happen as we all know that it’s actually something that typically does not happen. And what they’re doing now is recommending that that you backup your data in the cloud so you have to hope that happens that you actually do it every time. You’re not going to be in a position where you can verify that it was done correctly or that data backup actually would work if you needed to restore your data. And even say that all that happens and you do properly it still cost you extra money every month you can count on an extra 50 bucks a month just to back up your data which is ultimately in the internet in the cloud on a cloud-based server anyway. Again that requires your time to confirm that what happened and what if you have multiple locations that has to happen at every location. This on our side is managed by Genesis you don’t have any zero data you have zero downtime so if you do have downtime like again like hurricane sandy. As soon as you need that system again you can log in, log in from anywhere anytime and the same system is sitting there wait waiting for you. You can be in the parking lot in hurricane sandy being the parking lot of where your practice used to be. Pop quote you’ll get a portable table laptop in it and your cell phone you’re back in business. The data in our system is backed up in real time if you back up your data with a client server system it’s typically the best case scenario it’s once a day more likely it’s like once a month. With our system it’s real-time seer if you’re doing a note in our system and you change one thing it’s backed up every few seconds so that change even if your whole practice crashes you can get right back to where you were. You know at the time it crashed because as soon as you log back into the system that note is saved with the changes you made in real time. You don’t have to confirm that the data is backed up actually it shows you on the screen as if being backed up when the last backup happened. It’s just a basic function of a web-based platform. If you have multiple locations it’s also backed up in all locations and not only is that mean the number of locations where you are but it also is backed up in multiple locations on our side so there’s redundancy built into the back up. For your practice if you back it up on a hard drive and bring it home that’s it that’s your only hope if something happens on our side the data is backed up in a secure data center again our data center was is actually in New Jersey one of them is in New Jersey it was basically in the direct path of hurricane sandy it experienced zero downtime. It stayed up the entire through hurricane sandy. All the data was maintained. The data within the data center it’s not just on our server we have multiple servers which are backing each other up repeatedly throughout the day and then we have other redundancy built in where we have servers in other locations one of which is in florida for example. Again backing each other up web-based platform again when stands up.

What They Dont Want You To Know Chapter-1

  PART 1 What Insurance Companies Don’t Want You to Know Chapter 1 Insurance Companies’ Strategy: How They Really Make Their Money   A lot of doctors I speak to think insurance companies have it out for chiropractors because they hate what we do.  But I can tell you that it is not about our philosophical approach to health and wellness or musculoskeletal conditions. They really do not care about any of that. What they care about is whether they will pay or not pay. The insurance process is currently so automated that I can assure you that there is not a person sitting at a desk in the insurance company holding on to your money because they do not like chiropractors. An insurance company is big business. Just like any other business, it is made up of three things: People Process Technology They use those three things to make as much profit per unit as possible. In this case, the unit is an insurance claim. That being said, you will soon start to see that they actually love chiropractic, just not for the reasons we may hope for. For years, I thought insurance companies made their money by collecting premiums and then not paying claims. That meant they would increase their profit per claim substantially. But if you think about it, if insurance companies simply denied claims, they would look really bad in the eyes of their customers, the patients. What they really want to do is make it look like they are trying to pay claims but the doctor is simply not cooperating in some way, shape, or form. The name of the game is slowing down payment or taking the money back after they’ve already paid the claim and the customer is satisfied—that is, an audit. Think about the audit from the customer’s (the patient’s) perspective. They are covered for a visit or visits, and then they get a letter from the insurance company stating that their doctor is being audited. Their visit is still paid, and the insurance company looks like the good guy. But the doctor looks like the bad guy. We’ll look at this more in a bit. But there is more to the story. How They Really Make Their Money—Paradigm Shift To begin to understand insurance companies’ motives and, more importantly, what you can do about it, you just need to follow the money. Here is a little known fact: More than 50% of insurance companies’ profits come from interest. This is also known as float—or interest on money that should have been paid to you but was somehow delayed.

What Software Companies Don’t Want You to Know About Your Data Security and Liability – Chapter 13

  Chapter 13 What Software Companies Don’t Want You to Know About Your Data Security and Liability 8 Secrets of Software Companies and the Truth You Need to Know I have spent close to 14 years building cloud-based software for doctors. I was a pioneer in that area. Patient data security was always at the top of my list of concerns. Many software companies have been spreading misinformation about data security and your level of exposure. I stop short of calling them lies because based on what I hear software companies saying, it is probably more a lack of knowledge and experience. As a doctor, that bothers me. What if I had listened to them and then realized later how much they were actually costing me? Here are eight facts software companies do not want you to know: There are two types of systems There are basically two types of software systems: client server and cloud- or Web-based. Client server means the server and data are stored in the doctor’s office. Then other computers in that office connect to that internal server. All the computers and the server have to have software installed on them. The software needs to be updated on a regular basis. Examples are ChiroTouch and Platinum. Cloud- or Web-based means the server and data are stored in the cloud—or more accurately, stored on a server that is in a data center connected to the doctor’s practice by the Internet. The software is also stored on those servers. You can think of it like the online version of QuickBooks. Genesis is a cloud-based product.  You still own your data if it is stored in the cloud Here is where the misinformation starts. Client server software companies have been telling doctors that if their data are on a cloud server, they don’t own them. There’s no other way to say it—it is a big fat lie. You always own your own data. It doesn’t matter where the server is. You can access your data if you switch software companies Of course you can. Client server companies have been telling clients just the opposite for years: “If you ever leave that company, you can’t access your data again.” It is a scare tactic—misinformation—for several reasons. First, if a company ever held your patient data and would not give you access to it, it would be illegal. By law, cloud-based systems must store PHI (protected health information) for seven years (or whatever the legal requirement is for your state). Your ability to access data if and when you switch software companies is actually much better in the cloud. We’ll look at that in more detail later. If you are going to go with a cloud-based solution, you should make sure the company has extensive experience and a long track record. Do not choose a cloud-based company that just happens to pop up or a client server company that suddenly decides to build a cloud-based version of their product. Even though they seem similar, they are very different. I can tell you this based on 15 years of experience with cloud-based technology. A cloud-based company cannot hold your data hostage if you leave Maybe software companies are unaware of this, or maybe it’s another case of misinformation. Or maybe they have no clue about running a business. But I have my own opinion. There are legal and contractual protections against exactly this. From that perspective, your data are more than safe should you decide to go with a cloud solution, assuming it spells that out in your agreement with them, which it should. The truth is that we are all in business, so let’s think about this pragmatically as well. Imagine what would happen from a PR standpoint if a cloud-based system withheld access to a former client’s patient records. It just doesn’t make sense. In the age of Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets, withholding access to a client’s data for no real reason, legal or not, would be just plain stupid. Most cloud-based systems have a clause in their contracts that covers former clients who need to gain access to patient files. Again, consider the alternative. You buy a new client server system. You use it for a few years. You decide to go in another direction. Maybe you choose to move to the cloud. Five years later, a patient has a legal case unrelated to your practice and requests records that were on your old client server system from seven years ago. By law, you are required to provide them. You go into the dark recesses of your office where your old server is. Hopefully, you still have a computer connected to the server. In any case, you haven’t fired up either of those babies in five years. Who are you going to call? How will you get the records? What if the server doesn’t even turn on?
