Re: HIPPA measures to comply

[Dan <dbcemid@xxxxxxxxx>]

omygosh, Gary, is your resume up to date?  Seriously, are you really working in 
an IT environment
that deals with medical records?  If so, it is unfathomable that they (who are 
they?) are just now
telling you that you need to comply.  If my understanding of the vast resources 
required to
implement HIPAA requirements is correct, you are on a sinking ship.  You didn't 
*really* have
anything better to do the rest of this year, like eating and sleeping, did you?

Is your software homegrown?  If not, who is your software vendor (and have you 
contacted them)?

Sorry for sounding so gloom and doom, but yours is not a pretty situation.  
Hopefully others on
the list may have better and more knowledgeable news for you.

- Dan
