I've been doing B2B IT for years, and I'm glad to hear that the tech part of the health industry takes this more seriously than the health part.

There's not a single doctor's office or hospital I'm aware of that is HIPAA compliant, and the vast majority of doctors ask us what a BAA is when we try to get one set up with them.

No shit huh? Well, score one more for Kaiser, I guess.

FYI, my therapist is HIPAA compliant. I’m not sure he counts in your view though, because he is a former software engineer.

That mirrors my experience.

My GP has a sign-in sheet at the receptionist's desk where you have to write your name when you arrive. They put a single line through your name when you're checked in.

Worse, it's usually a notebook that's just turned to a new page every day. If you grabbed that notebook you'd have a list of everyone who visited that office for the past month or so, complete with dates and times.
