Warning: HIPAA has teeth and will bite over healthcare privacy blunders

craft patient-privacy policies might want to consider a new potential attack

Later this year, the Department of Health and Human Services is expected to
start auditing up to 150 health providers at random through December 2012 in
an effort to find medical entities that fail to comply with HIPAA and HITECH
regulations about how personal data must be handled securely.
