This HIPAA cartoon involves the notice of privacy practices (NPP) under HIPAA. HIPAA has a set of detailed requirements for the NPP. See 45 CFR 164.520 for the text of HIPAA’s requirement for NPPs.

This cartoon pokes a little fun at the blizzard of changed privacy notice notices.
I hope you enjoy my latest cartoon about data security — a twist on the angel on one shoulder and devil on the other. Humans are the weakest link for data security.
