When
I began working as a nurse, it seemed

the ICU payphone. As one of the
primary ways to share a patient's
status at the time, people would feed

to family and friends. One or two

phone, but it wasn't a common
appendage. Today, all it takes to
share information is a few keystrokes.

easier access. The result: the
integration of new technologies
to prevent unauthorized access
to patient information.
