I work in healthcare. It blows my mind how many people use a work email for communication regarding medical appointments including results and very personal information.

I’m a complete outlier in how conservative I am with this stuff and I’m nowhere near as fastidious as the HN gold standard.

It blows my mind how many healthcare providers routinely transfer sensitive information over insecure channels like email in the first place and ask the patients or carers involved to do the same. The most basic data protection regulations enshrined in law in my country are being openly violated, to say nothing of medical ethics and patient confidentiality.

In New Zealand the move to email comes after faxes were deemed insecure. It’s pretty much universally used, despite the issues.

I’m not looking forward to the day the US government stops believing in the magical security properties of fax machines with respect to HIPAA.
