Having problems with message search?
I have attached my HIPAA reference links that I have completed updating this morning. It is current through October 25, 2004. Having information readily accessible and at your finger tips will help you save time when you have time to focus on HIPAA compliance. If you use this list, I recommend that you add any of your vendors', professional societies, and state and county HIPAA related sites, and also consider adding links to sites that provide notification of security vulnerabilities and available patches for your in-house technology. If you are in digest mode, or in the future misplace it and want to access it, it is available from the ShareHIPAA group's file section. It appears in the files index like this:

I tried to take DRAFT NIST SP 800-66 and boil it down to a simple spreadsheet. It was suggested that the actual HIPAA language be provided so that those who prefer to work off the HIPAA Security Rule could do so. That way if they didn't understand the standard or the implementation specification they could cross reference the NIST guidance recommended for that specific sub-section.
Bricker and Eckler represents the Ohio Hospital Assn. The particular link below is for their tab "Regulations by Topic". There, each regulation section you click on (e.g 512 b looking for information about Death Notice) is followed immediately by the preamble discussions of that section. This saves you from having to flip back and forth from reg to preamble. And you can do a text search or find. The link for this tool is:
http://www.bricker.com/hipaa/hipaaindex.asp
I have added the url for the regulation by text from the Bricker and Eckler/Ohio Hospital Assn. website for each main section (administrative, physical, and technical) in the spreadsheet. I have also provided the corresponding recommended NIST guidance of each sub-section as provided by DRAFT NIST SP 800-66. There have been several new DRAFT NIST publications since DRAFT NIST SP 800-66 was published, and some of the draft guidance has been finalized. I have added the new DRAFT NIST publications where I believed they would fit.
