I served in the Air Force for 8 years, and looking back on that time I realize how antiquated our processes were.  I have been out of the service for about 11 years now, so maybe things have changed since then, or at least I hope so.  When it came to current technology and utilizing computer systems to manage our day to day operations, we were definitely behind the power curve.  I remember using an old outdated alarm system for our intrusion that was probably 50 years old.  We had old computers that didn’t really serve our needs efficiently, and a lot of paper filing.  Our processes were outdated and made tracking information very tedious, to say the least.  When it came to tracking employee training, certifications, education records, employment records etc., everything was in paper form, in a file somewhere.  We did not have any electronic records and had to store records in various locations.  This held true for many agencies within the Air Force.  With the current storage options like clouds, external hard drives, and thumb drives and other information management resources, it is very easy to retain information and have it readily available.  Obviously with that being said, new technology also creates concerns about protecting sensitive information.  This is a very valid concern in specific industries, like the medical field, where they maintain people’s personal health information.  Most Hospitals and doctor’s offices are using technology to maintain health records and to update patient information.  No longer are we seeing medical record carts being pushed around between departments.  Now we are seeing an increase in computers, tablets and i-Pads being used for record keeping and documentation.  So how are these facilities protecting themselves from tablet theft?   I would recommend the Alpha Bug Tag 2 to protect yourself from tablet theft, especially if the liability of losing the information is high.  
Alpha Thunder Tags provide an added level of security that can notify personnel when information is being removed from the premises.  The tags are applied to the computer, tablet or I-pad, with an adhesive.  The tags are equipped with EAS technology that will sound an audible alarm in the event the item is removed from the premises.  It also has a tamper alarm in the event someone tries to remove the tag from the device.  EAS antennas are simply added to the entry/exit locations, or in between departments, to prevent tablet theft.  These tags are re-useable and can be activated or deactivated by authorized personnel.  The Alpha Bug Tag 2 is the perfect way to reduce your liability and to protect sensitive information.  
As with anything, the personnel within a medical facility have many tasks to perform.  As emergencies crop up and patients need medical care, being aware of patient information security, is not always at the top of the list.  Distractions and inattention are not valid excuses for data leaks, and will not reduce a companies’ liability.  That is why the Alpha Bug Tag 2 is a great resource for combatting tablet theft.  Whether you are in the medical field or some other industry in which data security is a concern this is a great way to protect your information.  Simply activating the tag will deter someone from removing the equipment and data from the location and will alert staff in the event a breach occurs.  These devices are a cost-efficient means to protect client information, maintain customer trust, and reduce liability.  Breaches in trust can severely impact a company and its reputation, so don’t let your guard down, get the security you need today.

Mobile Device Apps Can Improve Chiropractic Care And Alpha Thunder Tags Protect The Devices That Improve The Care

Don’t get your nose out of joint over this article. I’m going to bend over backwards to help you understand what fantastic uses there are for i-pads and computer tablets in the world of chiropractic medicine. Of course I won’t be twisting your arm to read any further if you are tired of bad puns, on the other hand I hope I caught your attention and you will continue on, even if I seem to be a pain in the neck. Prior to writing this article I have never thought about the possibility there could be a use for mobile devices in chiropractic practices. However, there are apps available to chiropractic doctors that can be downloaded to help improve patient care. I will discuss some of these apps but it is important to remember that whenever mobile devices are used in a medical practice there is a chance of i-pad theft of tablet theft. Doctors and their staffs must be careful to ensure that when they do use mobile medical devices they take care of them and prevent sensitive information from getting into the hands of strangers. One way to do this is to use an Alpha Thunder Tag on a device.

 

An Alpha Thunder Tag is an anti-theft device that is attached to a mobile device with an adhesive and because of an anti-tamper alarm it cannot be removed without the proper tool. The tag works with an electronic article surveillance antenna, sending out a radio frequency signal that can be received by an antenna if a tagged device is carried too close to the antenna. In the event of an attempted i-pad theft or tablet theft the Alpha Thunder Tag would cause the antenna to activate its’ alarms. The alarms are a loud, audible beeping noise and a flashing LED light that alert staff a breach is about to take place. There is third protection built into the tags, a self-alarm that sounds in the device if a thief gets it out a door, past an EAS antenna. This alarm makes it easy to identify the person who has the i-pad or tablet in their possession, especially if several people are in the area. 

 

Earlier I mentioned that I had not considered there could be apps for i-pads or tablets in chiropractic care. I was surprised to find there are actually quite a few. Starting off there is “Clipboard” that “streamlines patient registration and reduces the risk of data entry errors”, “Patient Check-In” which allows patients to check in for their appointment and “iEHR”. This last application allows doctors to “edit patient data, view clinical history, or create patient iEHR forms” (information is from macpractice.com). How convenient would it be to have all of this information readily available on a portable mobile device rather than sorting through a paper record chart? Another app I located that I found interesting is “CT Outcomes 6.5”. This app, part of a suite of applications from this developer, “…offers patients the ability to fill out their outcome assessments on a portable device…”  (chirotouch.com). The “ChiroCloser” app uses 3D animations and a “white boarding” feature to assist doctors in explaining a patient diagnosis or procedure. Spin Tech Pro offers X-ray analysis software and generates reports for chiropractors (http://spinetech.us/app/spinetech-pro/ ). 

 

With the availability of so much information on patients, their treatment, care, billing records, etc. it is easier to keep the records in electronic format and mobile devices for a care center are a great way to do it. It is important that the information on the devices not be compromised due to tablet theft or i-pad theft. Patient data breaches can be costly to a medical practice so it is important to secure i-pads and tablets, ensuring they don’t leave the building. Placing an Alpha Thunder Tag on each device and setting up EAS antennas at every entrance can prevent the theft of these items and keep patient information secure.

Our Reliance On Technology Has Created A Vulnerability We Cannot Ignore.  Let The Alpha Thunder Tag Protect You From An Unauthorized Data Breach
My husband and I are pretty active and in the summer we love to play softball, although we both tend to be very accident prone.  This year was no exception, with both of us ending up in the emergency room.  I had the misfortune of tripping as I was running to third base, I know graceful right?  Unfortunately for me I just happened to fall directly on a rock, which resulted in a quarter-sized hole in my knee cap, which went down to the bone.  I did however finish the game before I took myself to the emergency room.  I know sounds crazy, but you can’t sew up a hole, which was confirmed by the doctors.  Needless to say I still spent some time in the hospital getting the wound cleaned and wrapped.  It wasn’t a pleasant experience, but the hospital staff was very kind and friendly during my brief visit.  During my appointment I did notice that the nurses and doctors had significantly improved their efficiency, which got me in and out much quicker than I anticipated.  It seems like technology has continued to improve efficiency in many areas of our lives.  The medical field appears to be no exception to this, as I watched everyone documenting and retrieving medical information from readily accessible tablets and other handheld devices.  As they documented my personal information and health history in front of me, I was intrigued by this paperless methodology.   I couldn’t help but think about how convenient it must be to be able to alleviate the need for paper documents, and the time it must save maintaining those records electronically.  Although convenient, it did make me think about the physical security of the device, and more importantly the information contained on it.  The hospital must take some precautions to prevent the theft of these devices to avoid liability and unauthorized access to personal health information.  From a loss prevention standpoint my thoughts immediately went to the Alpha Thunder tag, as a possible solution to prevent tablet theft in the medical field.  
Unfortunately in this day and age, data breaches are very common, and criminals tend to capitalize on these types of weaknesses and exposures.  The Alpha Thunder tag can prevent tablet theft or theft of other electronic devices such as iPads, laptops or other equipment that are designed to store sensitive information. I have used the Alpha Thunder tag in my stores to help protect some of my merchandise, which has been very successful.  I think this application could be very effective in protecting electronic devices used in the medical field as well.  These devices are simply placed onto the tablet or device with an adhesive, which allows for convenient placement.  They are equipped with electronic article surveillance, which alerts staff when a theft or breach has occurred.  Hospitals and clinics would simply install antennas at the entry/exit points and equip their devices with the tag.  If someone attempts to remove the device or leave with the tablet, it sounds an audible alarm.  This would help protect the medical entity from exposing sensitive patient information, which can lead to lawsuits and monetary settlements.  The tag is equipped with a switch that activates and deactivates the alarm, so the device could be moved between clinics, divisions or deactivated when needed.  These tags are re-useable and provide a cost-efficient means to protect your property from theft.  
I would venture to say that there are plenty of businesses, retailers and manufacturers out there that could also benefit from the Alpha Thunder tag.  Whether they are trying to protect employee information or simply protecting trade secrets, technology has created a need to protect against tablet theft.  The medical field is a great example of this, but I could think of a dozen or more situations in which these tags would be effective.  Don’t be vulnerable to data breaches and theft of your electronic devices, protect yourself and reduce your liability.

Alpha Thunder Tags On Mobile Medical Devices – Intensive Care For i-pads and Tablets
     Recently my family and I had the unfortunate experience of needing to spend a lot of time at a local hospital.  It was the cause for being at the hospital that was unfortunate, the doctors, nurses and other staff were exceptional and provided great care.  A significant amount of my time was spent in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of this hospital and yes, even during this time I could not help but take note of what was going on around me, aside from my reason for being there.  I saw doctors on their rounds with medical students using medical tablets to discuss patients, their medical histories, treatments, etc.  Although I could not hear everything, nor was I attempting to, I was able to ascertain bits and pieces of conversations even when they were separated from me by several feet.  It was obvious there was a significant amount of data and patient information available on those tablets or devices they were using.  At one point I was leaving the ICU, which was a very controlled environment requiring a visitor to be buzzed in, and I walked by a counter where a mobile device was unattended and no one in the immediate area.  I have a habit of switching gears pretty quickly when it comes to theft and security related issues.  Despite what I was going through I could not help but think, “What would happen if someone picked up this device and walked out of here?”  It would have been so much more secure if there was an Alpha Thunder Tag attached to it and Classic N10 antennas at both ends of this ICU unit.  
     An Alpha Thunder Tag is a device that can prevent tablet theft, i-pad theft or the theft of any mobile device.  The tag is attached to a mobile device with an adhesive (so eventually it could be removed if needed).  When a device is carried too close to a Classic N10 antenna the tag activates an alarm in the antenna that warns employees a potential theft is taking place.  Employees responding to the alarm can retrieve the item from the person, whether it was an intentional theft attempt or a doctor or nurse forgetting the item was in a pocket and setting off the alarm.  IF someone is attempting a tablet theft, i-pad theft or the theft of any tagged item, the Alpha Thunder Tag has a built in alarm that sounds letting people know the person walking out the door has a stolen item.  The antenna may stop sounding, but the Tag keeps alarming.
     So I’ve told you about the tag but by now you must be curious about the Checkpoint Classic N10 antenna I’ve mentioned several times.  This Checkpoint electronic article surveillance (EAS) antenna is designed to fit into small doorways where traditional EAS antennas won’t fit.  Because it is so small, it is perfect for an area like I was visiting in the hospital.  The ICU had entryways only from two ends.  In order to enter you had to press a buzzer and a nurse would ask why you were there and then push a button to allow access.  The hallways were always busy with gurneys and patients being wheeled around in wheelchairs.  A traditional antenna would probably have interfered with the traffic in this area.  The Classic N10 would fit snuggly by the doorposts and allow access to the ICU or any part of the hospital.  The standard antennas would cause any number of headaches as patients would be bumped into the antennas while trying to get them through the doorways.
     The possibility of a medical i-pad theft or tablet theft have to be taken seriously.  With the information that is being accessed on them, as I was able to determine by watching and listening, there is a huge amount of personal information accessible with these devices.  An Alpha Thunder tag on a device and placing Classic N10 antennas at doorways can protect these devices and prevent a possible compromise of patient information.

Protect Your Most Sensitive Information With An Alpha Thunder Tag
As the manager of a security and loss prevention program we commonly use third party vendors to provide services for our company.  We have one company that we use that does all of our background checks for pre-employment screening.  We recently were notified of a possible data breach involving some of our employees as well as some applicants that were not hired.  An employee of this third-party company had taken their company tablet or IPad home, and had subsequently left it in their car.  The car was burglarized and the tablet was stolen.  Although the tablet was encrypted, which reduces the likelihood of an actual breach of client PPI; it is not a failsafe means to protect the device.   This theft resulted in a required mass notification to all of the personnel possibly affected, additional credit reporting protection, and increased liability to that company.  This can result in increased costs and possible litigation if PPI information is released.  It also caused us to be concerned about the vendors’ credibility and their ability to safeguard our employee’s personal confidential information.  We are in a technological world and we can’t presume to think that we can work without the use of computers or technology to store and secure personal information, but we can expect a certain level of protection as a consumer and as a company.  This applies to most companies irrespective of the services they provide, because everyone has employee information and some professions have increased liability due to the very nature of their profession.  That is why it is important for everyone to take an active role in protecting this type of information to avoid breaches in personal data and to avoid increased liability.  The best way to protect computer equipment that contains personal information is through the use of an Alpha Thunder Tag.   
The Alpha Thunder Tag can reduce your risk of tablet theft, or theft of other devices, thus reducing the risk of losing sensitive data.  This can be very effective in areas such as the medical field, or in similar areas that maintain large amounts of client or patient data.  It can also be effective in fields that have sensitive information or want to protect their intellectual property.  The Alpha Thunder Tag is a hard tag that can be placed on any computer related device, and is equipped with EAS technology, in order to prevent tablet theft.  This provides protection against anyone trying to remove the tag from the device and prevents someone from leaving the building with the computer, tablet or other device.  A company simply adds EAS antennas at all of the entrance/exits, and if the tag comes in close proximity to the antennas it will make an audible signal, so staff can prevent a breach of information and protect their property.  These tags are attached with a strong adhesive and allow you to turn them on or off, depending on your needs.  It also provides a red indicator light that works as a deterrent but also shows you when the device is activated.  When it comes to protecting sensitive information in a technological world, it is imperative that we take additional precautions to prevent identity theft and unlawful disclosure of personal data.  
Technology has resulted in an increase in the use of computer related equipment to maintain records and track data.  Patient records are now kept electronically and are updated and maintained on various types of computer devices, which creates a liability for those associated with protecting it.  That is why Alpha Thunder Tags are an important resource to assist with protecting sensitive information, regardless of what that might be.  Tablet theft can be more than just the loss of a device it can involve the disclosure of sensitive information, which leads to future litigation and increased costs.
