I'm not saying I completely agree with the idea. But those are reasons I've been given in the past. From a corporate stand point, the CYA side will come into play. The company makes itself vulnerable by allowing some people to work in an area that may not be secured. Say you are on the phone discussing something, and you have it on speakerphone, and your roommate walks by and hears somebody talk about something that may be covered under HIPPA. The company and you are now criminally responsible for the leak of private patient health information.
