A scenario illustrating why.

Patient is shown to a private room.

They are instructed to change, then left alone to do so.

The desk is bumped, the mouse moves, and the screen comes to life.

It’s displaying the doctor’s daily schedule.

1 – Patient Name – Age – Reason (!) – Note – Other Doctors – Insurance   

There’s 30 listings like this.

2 – the yellow is a name highlighted, which displays the below information:

3 – Patient phone number

Another example screen.

4 – Billing screen

That’s a lot of time alone,
with a lot of personal information

Medical offices – protect your patient’s privacy, and put a password on all computers. Ideally it’s 15 characters strong, uses numbers, characters and letters, and is changed regularly.
