Another one from FierceHealthIT: Medicare fraud growing due to design of IT systems. In this case, about a criminal who deserves some sort of perverse award for a very efficient use of mobile computing.
One example of this [i.e. Medicare fraud] is the case of Rita Campos Ramirez who, using only a laptop, filed more than 140,000 Medicare claims for unnecessary equipment and services. Campos Ramirez, who has pled guilty to filing false claims, has since helped prosecutors win indictments against doctors and patients who accepted kickbacks for pretending to receive HIV infusion services.
