I think that was the point of HIPAA.
It’s good to note that, if you make the penalty too high, then it has the side effect of drastically increasing medical costs.
- hedora 5y agoI doubt it. Here's an upper bound: If the penalty was infinite, then they'd simply air-gap patient (or victim DNA) information systems, and have patients own / transfer their own medical records between providers (perhaps on DVD's, because USB is a very broad protocol). The cost of that would he rounding error vs. other inefficiencies in the US healthcare system.
