I plan on making more comments here about HIPAA security, but one of the issues that I see around the various list-serves surrounds how to gain compliance with users logging off of computers and not allowing others to use their logins. Well, when I worked for Texas Orthopedic Hospital, The Methodist Hospital System, Methodist Willowbrook Hospital and San Jacinto Methodist Hospital…we used a tactic called “Teapotting”.
Teapotting is best done anonymously, and is accomplished when an unsuspecting user leaves him or herself logged on to their workstation and they are nowhere to be found. Just sit down and compose an email to your colleagues about how “you” are going to be bringing donuts tomorrow, or lunch on Friday is on you. It only takes a couple of times for people to get the idea.
