It has changed a lot since then. 2015 was a huge overhaul of HIPAA and its enforcement.

Prior to that, it was just a polite suggestion.

I work in publicly funded mental health and our responses to possible/actual HIPAA breaches are monitored very closely by our funders. So even if an event occurs that is not deemed to be an actual breach, if our response/investigation/corrective action is found to be unsatisfactory, our county/state/fed contracts, foundation grants, and Joint Commission Accreditation could be altered/canceled.
