security, encryption, and healthcare

[Dan Lund]

Actually HIPAA is a really vague guideline.  I work in the heathcare
sector (hospice) and unfortunately had/have to deal with this monster
from the beginning.
As far as law is written, it's just vague enough to say "do your do
diligence to keep data out of others hands".  Whatever vehicle you use
for that is up to you.
