This is actually pretty sad. HIPAA is not something a company should take lightly. It would be like a private company having no audit logs or encryption while running a government contract, but 50x worse.

Working in healthcare myself, I urge anyone whose eved contemplated or has the opportunity to work in a healthcare related company to take a few days to really digest and understand not only HIPAA, but it's purpose and it's consequences. You can go to jail just for being part of a company that does not properly take care of patient data.
