HIPAA Security Rule 101: The Time to Act Is Now

Abstract We are privileged to live in a society that values freedom and the individual rights of its citizens to have the opportunity to make choices that affect our own well-being. These freedoms are exercised on a daily basis without conscious thought and are many times taken for granted. For example, people make choices about where they will eat lunch, where they will have cars repaired, who will provide childcare for their children, where they will spend their money, the leisure activities in which they will participate, and how they will use their time.
