HIPAA Hell

Just spent the last hour going through HIPAA hell training. Since there is a small chance that I could possibly see customer data on the pipe (about the same chance as enjoying my son's "Lil Bow Wow" CD) I got to spend an hour on all the rules and crap involved with HIPAA.

Derek, if you have to deal with this shit on a daily basis, you have my sympathies. ;-)

I do. I haven't gone through the "formal training" (required by law) yet, but I'm going to ask if I can test out of it with an answer:

"Unless someone hands me a subpoena signed by a court with actual jurisdiction over me, then nobody gets shit about nobody."

Because regardless of what HIPAA says, that's going to be my standard response anyway. :)

Actually, from what I read through there are ways you can get the info without a note from your mother or an AK-47.

Reading through it, it mostly seems like the biggest angst is going to be tracking/monitoring user access for six years.

Anyone around here keeping server logs from 1997?
