(hipaa compliance cheat sheet?)

(i was wondering if anyone has a list of all the hipaa guidelines for computers/networks/systems?

i've been trying to find a comprehensive list but all i can find online are legal documents. i'm looking for a list that i can use as a checklist.

like passwords must be this length and workstations must lock after so many minutes.

any assistance is greatly appreciated.

thank you. = ])

 

Try this link and see if it has what you want:

http://www.ontariosystems.com/hipaa/index.htm

It has some other sites on it's links page also that look promising.

If you do a google search for HIPAA Guidelines, you will probably get more also.

 

(thanks for responding so quickly. i looked over the site and links but i didn't see a checklist. do you know where i can find a checklist?)

 

No sorry I don't. It will probably take some searching on your part.

Try this site: http://aspe.hhs.gov/admnsimp/

It is one of the links from the first site. It has a contact us page, so you could try contacting them and maybe they can direct you to what you need.

Good luck.

 

(thank you, i will definitely contact them.

i've been feeling a bit frustrated because i'm a very resourceful person and i'm used to finding the information i need fairly quickly and i've been unable to find what i want on the internet. there are so many consulting companies and courses you can take to help you learn about hipaa compliance but i want a quick and dirty list that will tell me exactly what i want. heh.

thanks again!)
