News from Thin client

   
   
Craig Keefner's insight:
Specifically, even after looking into using Microsoft's Office 365 in 2013 with a HIPAA BAA available,Molina Healthcare Inc. of Calif. chose to just stick with its on-premises storage product. Molina Healthcare CIO Rick Hopfer told the Journal that his organization could not come to an agreement with Microsoft on the specifics of the BAA. While Hopfer didn't explain exactly what the issue was within the BAA that prevented Molina from using Microsoft 365, the decision illustrates an important point: While cloud vendors offering BAAs is an important step to cloud adoption in healthcare, some organizations may have precise needs that they don't believe are covered in a BAA. Hopfer made it clear that this didn't mean that Molina had no interest in a Microsoft, or even Google, BAA down the line, but keeping its on-premises made sense for now.
