We are back from City of Hope today, the middle of a cycle of three doctor visits and a round of blood tests, all part of our six-month checkup. As readers of my blog know, we are approaching the 10th anniversary of the April 2006 diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Today's visit was with the endocrinologist and he, of course, reviewed and discussed our blood test results taken a week ago. Happy to say that all is well! However, not too many miles away from that hospital location, another hospital in the LA area doesn't find some matters going so well.
Having enjoyed nearly a 40-year career starting in 1971 with nonprofit hospitals, I observed how information management has become an important cornerstone of patient care and the health care business in general. That reality makes me more observant of news, clips, and stories (the #SocialCurrentSee) that introduces this post. How unfortunate are these facts. I'm sure the hospital in question is well on the way to a remedy for the problem, but it makes one wonder how and when the story will be repeated at any one or many of the thousands of other hospitals in our world.
A simple solution for these types of cyber attacks may be found in the advice given by the following video.
🏛️ The purpose of the Davis–Stirling Act in ensuring open governance in California homeowners associations (HOAs) is rooted in the principles of transparency, accountability, and owner participation . The law mandates open operations for HOA boards because these boards function like local governments—making rules, levying fees, and enforcing penalties that affect property owners' rights and finances. ⚖️ Key Purposes for Open Governance under the Davis–Stirling Act: 1. Transparency of Board Actions HOAs must hold meetings in a way that homeowners can observe, attend, and participate . Open Meeting Act (Civil Code §4900–4955): Requires that board meetings (with few exceptions) be noticed and held in public. Prevents decisions being made behind closed doors unless legally permitted (e.g., legal issues, personnel matters). 2. Homeowner Access to Information Homeowners have the right to: Receive advance notice of meetings and agendas (Civil Code §4920). Revie...
Anyone who lives or has lived in a common interest development (aka homeowners association or HOA) has certain cognizance of the covenants, rules, and conditions (CC&Rs) of those "private government" communities. Virtually every conflict that can and will arise in these locations is the result of CC&Rs that were initially drafted by the community developer and then perhaps altered or amended by the HOA attorneys. Sometimes those changes need enabling legislation at the state level, but that is a whole different matter. If the HOA lobby is not 100% behind those changes, the local HOA homeowner has little chance of effecting the change.

Of course, that law is the Davis-Stirling Act (DSL), extant since 1985. Did you know? The prime-position author of that law, the notable former and recalled Gov. Gray Davis actually did not write the law, but relied upon a San Diego law professor for the content with cooperation from fellow attorney and former CA Assemblyman Lawrence Stirling. The summary story is shared in the archive above. Actually, the origin and authorship standings for the Davis-Stirling Act is not really that unusual in California. In order to get bil...
