I could not agree more.

Healthcare organizations that facilitate and encourage employee utilization of technology. I regularly use technology not provided by my employer, both hardware (laptop, secondary monitor, tablets) and software (photoshop, pages, iShowUHD, etc.) because it allow me to be more effective at my work. This applies to clinical and non-clinical jobs. If a individual sees the value of the tools why don't organizations? Many providers and staff are purchasing their own smartphones, so why not enable them to have access to digital libraries and journals at the very least.

To be fair there is some risk and it is not simple, but the changing landscape of leadership means there needs to be transparency and discussion. The traditional command and control model will not work. Why not focus on creating a culture the fosters dialogue about privacy issues, and shares innovative practical uses of technology so others can learn and increase their own effectiveness?
