HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, is going to significantly impact your IT department. The proposed security regulations have extensive and broad implications to corporate policies regarding the security and confidentiality of individually identifiable health information managed by your IT staff. To ensure organizational compliance and meet federally mandated compliance requirements; organizations must formally evaluate their administrative procedures, networks, and applications to meet HIPAA requirements. This does not require the hiring of new IT staff. Automation of the IT infrastructure documentation process, with the right tools, can significantly reduce the cost of compliance. This paper is about the documentation of your IT servers as part of a "best business practice" plan for compliance with HIPAA security standards.
