"By increasing the technology in our medical organizations through technologies such as EMR, we are also increasing our dependency on technology and opening ourselves up to new risks, such as data loss. Many businesses take this for granted and fail to take to proper precautions in protecting their data." says John Deutsch of EMR Experts.
