We need to do much better in this regard than we&#39;ve done in protecting credit card numbers and Soc Sec numbers, which are stolen or &quot;lost&quot; with unfortunate regularity. &nbsp; &nbsp; Instead of winding up with a &quot;shadow&quot; industry of health-care data protection (a la the credit monitoring industry), we should make this transition correctly from the start. And that probably means an overhaul of HIPAA privacy, as well. There&#39;s a lot at stake here.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3343735" width="1" height="1">
