I started an Internal Medicine Practice in Great Falls, Montana in the fall of 1993. I received my Bachelor of Science in Animal and Veterinary Science and Medical Degree from West Virginia University, Morgantown. After three years of Internal Medicine residency in Madison at the University of Wisconsin, moved west. I started blogging as I transitioned from the paper chart to an electronic record. I am convinced the electronic health record (EHR) needs to be shared as a visual interactive medium at the point of care.
#ProjectedEHR–User friendly EHR (Amazing Charts) that projects well, 15 inch Chromebook, wall mounted 40 inch TV, 10 foot HDMI cord, HDMI/USB extender, remote access application made for chrome & encrypted (VNC viewer made for Chrome, Enterprise Version). The chromebook simulates my dual monitored desktop, so I take my “virtual desktop” into the exam room and my EHR becomes a visual teaching tool. On the 40 inch wall mounted TV in each exam room, the patient sees what I see as we go through their information. Always check with your IT support to make sure everything is HIPAA compliant and secure.
I have other interests including, camping, hiking, running and painting. Some of my other blogs deal with these.
I have started painting again after a twenty plus year dry spell. Thanks to Vidya Viswanathan for her article. http://www.doctorswhocreate.com/whats-it-like-for-a-doctor-to-restart-painting-after-22-years/
Below are two links of my most recent paintings:

Hi James,
It was fabulous meeting you a few weeks back and talking about diabetes. But when the conversation went into Patient Portals, I was fastinated. Thanks for taking the time to share a sample patient (Lisa Zoones from In the Trenches MT)
Can you send me a email (you may still have my card)? I’ll put my email address in the field below the comment field. I’m looking for one of your blogs or review articles that provides the best summary of the technology you showed me. I want to run this by a medical colleague of mine who has an interest in technology. I would like to get you more visability within our company. Keep up the passion…it’s INFECTIOUS!

Hi Dr. Legan,
I appreciate and enjoy your work/videos with EMR projection. Do you know if using the chrome remote desktop application (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp?hl=en) is also HIPAA compliant as you say the chrome VNC viewer is?? Thanks in advance.

Dear LD102,
I would certainly check with your local IT support staff. The reason I chose the enterprise version of VNC viewer made for chrome, is the maximum 256 bit encryption, dual monitored support and long track record of the VNC viewer product. I hope this helps. Thank you for your very kind comments.
Sincerely,
Jim(mie)
