John,
Ask them to supply you with the HIPPA compliance list point-by-point.
Then you show how you can comply when it is your responsibility and also
point out where they are responsible for security.
Then summarise this and they will see that they are more responsible for
this HIPPA thing than

Officially, hippa compliance is a CLIENT issue. As long as the data
HIPAA is NOT your responsibility. It is the responsibility of the
hospital/health care entity to make sure that they are HIPAA compliant
at the point where they connect to the Internet. If they are unable to
make that distinction, then doing business with them is asking for
trouble because
John, this is a common question of a vastly misunderstood issue. And
while I do not purport to be an expert on HIPAA, I have encountered the
question many times.
There is no such thing as being HIPAA compliant from a hardware
standpoint. Rather, HIPAA addresses how information is handled as it
Great questions, Marlon!
You are correct that it is application/data encryption needed, not
transport security.
Every hospital has a HIPAA Officer. Talk to that person. By 2009, they
all have to have EMR and HIPPA compliance, along with some EDI with
health insurance payers.

I think its important to understand where the client's fear comes from.
Its
thinking that they are opening their network wide up.
HIPPA is making a client process compliant
I have a few hospital employees working at home across my wireless system.
They vpn into the hospital and we don't do anything special for them.
One reason that they tell the employees to use us is because we service
them quickly when they have an issue.
I will agree that we've lost work

John,
Do you have a listing of HIPPA security needs?
One thing you can do is provide a secure tunnel, IPSEC is best, or a
security on top of security approach. This tunnel will run from your
customer equipment, his hospital, etc, to your boarder router etc

It does not matter if the responsibility is the network admin or not
when it comes down to purchase time. It comes down to perception. Right
now perception of the hospital corporate officers is that wireless = not
secure. I have been told by people who order circuits that they are not
