Bueller? News to me. I know the healthcare industry just started with HIPAA, which is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (as of April of this year, it went into effect). You've probably noticed physicians/pharmacists/etc having you sign your life away lately... I work for a healthcare company, so this was a huge thing for us...to become HIPAA compliant. But as far as I'm aware, that's the only 'official' privacy regulation that has occurred. If I've missed something as well, would love to know ;) Charlie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Your ad could be here.
