Notices of privacy practices for practices are a boilerplate form that shouldn't be more than 10 pages long. Whatever they write is meaningless if it gives them more power than the law does, most places just use the AMA or state agency recommended forms. The law actually states what needs/should be written. Here is an example [doc file]: www.ama-assn.org/resources/doc/hipaa/privacy-practices.doc‎ That said, places with their own websites need only upload the form and tell patients it is able to be viewed at at whatever link and have the binder accessible in the office for viewing. Uploading to dropbox/filesharing without a website is not a valid option.
