You may have heard that HIPAA now requires encrypting all patient data. It doesn't — not yet. Federal regulators proposed making encryption mandatory (it's currently just "recommended"), but that proposal has not been finalized into law as of this writing. There's no deadline to comply with yet. Once it is finalized, organizations would get 60 days before it takes effect and 240 days after that to actually comply — so there will be advance warning. Worth watching, not worth panicking about yet.
