I retired from major oil and we were monitored 24/7, even when the laptops were at home.  They gave us a set of rules to go by, you followed, you were OK.  But you would be amazed at the number of people who went to porn sites and got busted....

We were also told to assume the laptop cameras were on all the time.

Absolutely not. Their house, their software, their equipment, and they need to oversee employees to protect patients. Free speech ain’t in it, and neither is privacy.

IT I found out today scans our outbound (and I assume inbound) email for more than just spam.

Assume they see everything. While it used to be too labor intensive, AI and the cloud have made it much cheaper.

I have a completely separate personal system that sits next to my work machine. I think I’m going to go a step further and put the work machine in its own VLAN.

You heard correctly.  Being micromanaged by corporate dolts that know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about actually providing healthcare is driving scores of good people out.  Rightly so.

The company I work for monitors everything. I mean EVERYTHING.

There's a GPS in the truck that knows your speed, your braking, your covering, when you open the windows, when you open the door, when you put your seat belt on, when you take your seat belt off, how long you've been idling, how long you've been sitting in your car.

Then they watch your phone or tablet, they can literally see clicks (keypresses). They know when you encounter to a job, arrive, and leave the job. Then they'll randomly visit you at your job and you never know when it is. Hell, if they dont trust you they'll visit your job after you leave and verify you've actually done the job.

As others have said, they could monitor everything they want to and in Florida it’s legal, and the hospital has due diligence to protect the patients, and workers.

Having worked in the Fortune 500 for several decades, I guarantee you that everything you type or view on a company PC can be monitored and recorded.  It is one of the easier ways to fire someone that management wants to get rid of provided there are existing rules and employee agreements in place.  

I once saw a guy get fired for porn and running a side business from his company PC.  Once the case was built, they walked him out with his cardboard box.  I heard they had tens of thousands of links & websites that he had visited.

Hopefully he got into some trouble for that.  We can see everything, but generally try to avoid looking unless a file or communication was flagged as suspicious.  Even then, we will take some steps to avoid knowing who, unless the issue was serious enough to dig deeper.

for those that dont realize it, every mouse move click etc on THIS website is most likely recorded. relative worked for a company that installed software on the web server that would record everything that happened as a user interacted with the client's website. as an example, as i type this reply, it is possible (and many companies use software that does this) that its being recorded and even if i dont hit the submit, what i type is being recorded and saved. the purpose of this is for a company to better analyze what customers do, what they move their mouse onto and how they navigate a site. its captured in detailed so that analytics can be run against all user interactions, even ones that you dont 'submit'.. the company im familiar with is quantum metric, but there are a bunch of companies that provide similar software. ive seen a demo of this where a 'session' was retrieved to review the actual most moves and clicks.

bottom line, the software and systems are so sophisticated these days, the ability to store huge amounts of data on very fast sans in server farms that you should assume anytime you interact with something on the internet, its being recorded. and as the power of hardware and AI and analytics increases, it will only get more so...

No, you would be amazed at the amount of data that verticals like health care, finance and banking have to be able to have access to in order to be compliant with regulations as well as protect themselves from lawsuits.

Usually.  I was fortunate to work at one place that sprung the big bucks for Epic (one "brand" of healthcare charting).  It was nice.  Place I'm at now deliberately cheaped out on a "lite" (incomplete) version of the crappiest "brand".  Feels like living in the dark ages and productivity suffers because it takes three times as long as it does on a better system to do the same thing.  Penny wise and pound foolish.

^THIS.

I was a medical sales rep. for 33 years that always had a company car provided.

It wasn't uncommon to fudge paperwork to make it appear we had worked a full day while, in reality, we might take time off to golf or fuck off somewhere.

We were usually given a choice of company cars, and some of us selected a GM car that had OnStar on it.

Unbeknownst to us, OnStar was providing data on miles driven/day and the times the car was moving.

I was lucky enough to have selected a Chrysler car that didn't have OnStar, but a few who did lost their job for fraudulent reporting.

we are monitored big time.

if I perform testing or have to look up anyone with my last name I am called in and have to account for it. my manager gets a report that she has to fill out while I'm in her office.

if I am working on a patient and have to go down a rabbit hole of previous results looking for information about previous histories or Path reports I am held accountable and have to be prepared to give my reasons as to why I am searching the information.

Healthcare Systems aren't messing around.

The medical facility she’s in must have incredible resources to pay their IT guys to remote into random nurses computers during their work day.

Incredibly irresponsible too, if IT is remoting in in such a way that they can control the nurses computer instead of observing. If they screw up and delete or alter charting…

I've been in healthcare IT for almost 20 years; it's manned at the bare minimum required (and sometimes less than that).  No one has the time or interest to watch an RN do anything.  

If that healthcare system has had any recent infrastructure investments in the last five years, automated systems do scan inbound/outbound communications for sensitive information.  Most of the work is keeping everything patched and the bad guys out.
