HIPAA is NOT your responsibility. It is the responsibility of the
hospital/health care entity to make sure that they are HIPAA compliant
at the point where they connect to the Internet. If they are unable to
make that distinction, then doing business with them is asking for
trouble because they are just playing the cover your ass game.
They probably won't like hearing that, and it may not get you the
business, but HIPAA has absolutely nothing to do with your network.

Wireless broadband security issues have now officially led to my
business being put into a bad light due to perceived lack of security.
I am a member of a regional broadband planning group that is working
with health care and other industry sectors to help deliver broadband
options to all areas that need it. Rural Health centers and hospitals
are all over the region and most need access to broadband which is
highly secure. I need to know what others have done to bring HIPAA
compliance assurance to network administrators and hospital personnel
so that your solutions are chosen and used for health care
connectivity. Currently my services are not being considered do to the
perception of a lack of HIPAA security compliance. I need to get on
top of this right now and welcome your thoughts and ideas. I would
prefer to hear from those of you who have some actual knowledge of
delivering HIPAA compliant connections or those who provide equipment
which has been documented to meet HIPAA compliance.
Thank you,
