title: Asleep at the switch.
abstract: Two new reports had some harsh words for HHS' enforcement of the HIPAA security rule on guarding patient data. A lack of strong enforcement may be hindering providers' efforts in the area. "I continue to hear from folks who work in security, that as long as there is not visible enforcement, it hurts their chances to getting the resources and budgets and employees they need," says Lisa Gallagher.
