My medical practice is about to commit to Epic EHR. We've just had our technology assessment. There were two reps from the installation team present at the assessment; one will be our account leader; the other actually did the assessment. I'm a bit concerned because she was quite vague about whether I could use my Mac and run Epic within my Fusion VM. The Account Leader assured me there'd be no problem and told me she was aware of docs who do this; the person who did the "readiness assessment" told me she was concerned because one of the requirements was to encrypt the entire drive on laptops, and they support only one solution (apparently not native Windows whole-drive encryption, but a solution that comes from a 3rd party vendor (that has recently been purchased by Dell). It was quite obvious to me that the person doing the "readiness assessment" didn't know the difference between Boot Camp and a VM; she kept insisting that she wasn't sure the encryption software would "run on a Mac." I told her that I was quite confident that if it was a utility that didn't deal with Windows in some strange way that it was virtually certain to work to encrypt my virtual machine. I did get the impression that I wouldn't be permitted to use VMware's whole-disk encryption algorithm.
Can anyone in this group enlighten me on whether a 3rd party Windows drive encryption tool is likely to encounter problems with a Fusion VM?
Thanks so much,
Jim Robertson
