I combed through the entire document for any implications the proposed revisions might have on the HIPAA hosting aspect of health IT, as that can affect the decisions our clients make and our ability to fulfill those needs to help meet compliance and meaningful use. Here\u2019s a rundown of what I could pinpoint through a review of the official federal register document, 42 CFR Parts 412, 413 and 495, Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Electronic Health Record Incentive Program &#8211; Stage 2. Encryption In Stage 2, the proposed rule is to highlight the importance of encryption while conducting a security risk analysis. While the proposal does not seek to make encryption a requirement under the HIPAA Security Rule, awareness of encryption and the security of data at rest will be emphasized as a key measure in the review of a security risk analysis\/assessment. The federal register acknowledges that a recent HHS analysis of reported shows nearly 40 percent of large breaches were due to lost or stolen devices &#8211;..."}
