"Once again I failed to properly explain to management why security is important, and because of my complete lack of communication skills they overruled me thinking I was just some ranting IT nerd."
Actually I spent quite a few hours in various meeting with them and representatives of the Doctors explaining in both simple and detailed terms the need for security, even bringing in somebody from another trust who had implemented the sort of things i was suggesting successfully.
They may not be 'Idiots' and I never described them as such, but they did, in the trust I was working for, feel that their clinical concerns and convenience were of overriding importance.
I suggested using 'access cards' but that was rejected on cost grounds, as was thin computing. And the point regarding USB drives was that they wanted to be able to take the data off site so even having data following them around the hospital wasn't going to cut it.
The bottom line was that the Doctors put their convenience above everything else and they were supported in this by the senior management. It isn't that they couldn't understand what was being explained to them, they just didn't want to.
