> Where can I find information on the current HIPAA Security Standards?

http://aspe.hhs.gov/admnsimp/Index.htm   --- U.S. Health and Human Svcs. Two
pages off this page that discuss security and privacy rules (proposed and
otherwise). There is also a link to implementation guides, that are more
broad based. The background page is very informative, if a little dry.

http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa/  --- Everything you want to know about the
privacy side of HIPAA.

http://www.hcfa.gov/medicare/edi/edi.htm  --- Medicare/Medicaid page. They
have a mail list that will notify you of admin simplification document
changes.

http://www.hcfa.gov/medicaid/hipaa/adminsim/default.htm  --- Specific to
Medicaid HIPAA amdin rules. Some which will affect privacy and/or security.

http://snip.wedi.org/public/articles/details.cfm?id=118 --- list of regional
implementation contacts. This people can usually send you in the right
direction if you need help. They don't know computer security, but they know
HIPAA.

http://www.hcfa.gov/medicaid/hipaa/default.asp --- Health Care financing
Admin page. Link in middle of page to an 'interactive' help page. While
geared more toward the end user, it will give you an idea of what they are
expecting.

As far as I know there is not a site dedicated to securing a site that is
affected by HIPAA. We are working with our clients (mostly doctors) trying
to implement a sound structure to meet the rules. So far is has not been
easy.
