SECURITY ISSUES
How Secure is a PCMR (Patient Controlled Medical Record produced by the NextMR Program)
As the programmer, I believe that the simplest method for illegally accessing a NextMR / NextMR is to
acquire the password off the Patient. It is therefore important that the Patient considers his/her
password to be as secret a thing as a 'pin number'.

Initial Setting up of the NextMR Program on a Computer
The biggest issue is that when you have the program to setup NextMR on a disk, how can you be sure that some
malicious person has not substituted the NextMR Setup program for a virus ??
In the real world unfortunately you can never be more than 99% sure... and so you should only 'Run' a program that is
foreign to your computer if you have confidence on where it has been, and ideally also after you have used
a recognised virus checker ( that is up to date ) to check it.
The safest way you can get a copy of the "NextMR Program"
( required to use NextMR's ) is to download it from the
NextMR Website .
(Approx 3 mins with a 56K modem)
Putting Patient Data Disks ( NextMR's ) into the computer
If you put for example a floppy disk into your computer, and use the NextMR program on your computer
to access the medical record on that disk, you will not just "catch a virus" on your computer.
NextMR will not actually 'run' any program on that disk without permission.
If NextMR comes across a type of file that it is not sure of the security of it will not use it.
