Question firefox extension

[drajitsh]

I use an EMR which runs on chrome, firefox, as a web page.
MY PROBLEM is that it requires a 5 Mbps connection. unfortunately in the past few months only 1 - 1.5 Mbps bandwidth is available during working hours.
SOLUTION PROPOSED -- I write a custom firefox extension that will download and store the data fields on my computer (locally), for all previous patients, accept the new data, and sync it during off peak hours.
the sync is optional
REQUEST
1. is it feasible?
2. how to go about it?

for all previous patients

Whoops! This is health care data? In the USA that's heavily regulated by HIPAA. Just storing data locally may be illegal.

I'm locking this thread as it raises too many legal issues. -- Programming Moderator Ken g6
