Although it is great in its breadth and depth, it isn't HIPPA (like HIPPO)
it's HIPAA... a common error.

You'll find everything you wanted to know (and more!) about the regulations
here:

And if you use third party providers for processing, imaging, storage or
shipping, make sure you pay attention to the "Business Associates Agreement"
link on this page.
