When I attended the HHS presentation in San Diego it became very clear that HHS was not going to be out looking for what may be perceived as Privacy Violations because Organizations were running a particular Operating System. A point of protocol and etiquet: When someone reply-s to you singularly this is considered an off line response. I personally have no problem with you putting my response on the listserv, but you should then leave the email in its original format. Dale W. Pocklington MS, MHA, CISSP, CDIA, CCA Hello Dale: Thank you for another thoughtful reply. Please pardon me for asking you to clarify the above message. I am sure that the intent of my first message was obscured by my poor writing skills. Permit me another attempt: I have seen some discussion of the relatively new Microsoft EULA terms and potential effects on various IT arenas. This EULA appears to me to be at cross-purposes with HIPAA rules and objectives. I would be interested in the rationales of those who opine that this is not a potential liability issue. One merit I see in this effort would be the lifting of my own ignorance on this subject. Thank you also for the tips on etiquette. Perhaps this is due to my relative ignorance of email usage; I would be grateful if you would tell me which words or punctuation I may have inadvertently removed from or added to your message.

RE: NPP
Traci, only providers are required to make a good faith effort to obtain a written acknowledgement. Donald L. Ribelin HIPAA Project Manager Firsthealth of the Carolinas (910) 215-2668 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Traci Winter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 2:19 PM To: WEDI SNIP Privacy Workgroup List Subject: NPP Interesting occurrence just took place.. I just received a NPP from Guardian Life Insurance Co. It was put in my inter-office mailbox by our HR staff person. There is no acknowledgement form for me to sign.. Do they think by having my employer distribute them that they are not required to make a good faith effort to get an acknowledgement signed? Just seems a little off to me. Does anyone else find this a little lacking? Traci Winter Hospitals Home Health Care, Inc. Fulton, NY --- The WEDI SNIP listserv to which you are subscribed is not moderated.
