Welcome to the weekly edition of Healthcare IT Today Bonus Features. This article will be a weekly roundup of interesting stories, product announcements, new hires, partnerships, research studies, awards, sales, and more. Because there’s so much happening out there in healthcare IT that we aren’t able to cover in our full articles, we still want to make sure you’re informed of all the latest news, announcements, and stories happening to help you better do your job.
News
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that dozens of health systems in the Philadelphia area had to pull offline web links that publicly revealed daily work schedules and cell phone numbers of healthcare workers. The pages were managed by QGenda, an online workforce management product, and included multiple months of schedules. It’s unclear when the info was disclosed, how long it was publicly available, or whether anyone accessed the info and/or did anything with it.
