Take a moment to visualize a physician traveling home in a cab from a long day. Stuck in traffic, our hypothetical physician sees this as the perfect time to catch up on email and or to do non-care-related administrative tasks. At the end of the cab ride, he or she puts the phone down to pay the driver. Being tired — in a moment of thoughtlessness — the doctor accidentally walk away from the cab, leaving the phone on the seat. One more lost device. This scenario — or one very much like it — unfolds daily all over the country.
