HIPPA actually depends. It doesn't flat say you need to log conversations. It's more nuanced than that and you need to make sure your privacy policy and how you deal with PHI is handled.
HIPPA is a lot about defining policy and processes more then anything. The technology is merely there to support your policies and processes. :) We have Lync internally and do not archive globally. We have the capability to do it set up and during 'investigations' enable it on some people. Also, management is discussing allowing some people access to Internets IM through it. If they do there will be two steps before your account is enabled, one sign the PHI doc regarding IM and you will have your account archived.
