I was in a training class this week, and one of the subjects that came up was compliance (it was a data leak prevention class). When the instructor mentioned a certain healthcare-specific regulation, I asked how it was spelled. The instructor delayed 1/4-second, then replied, “H-I-P-A-A”. I gave a hearty congratulations, and class resumed.
Then I was started looking through an RFP I was working on, and it mention the same regulation throughout the document. Of course, it was spelled “H-I-P-P-A”, and no less than 5 times. It was NEVER spelled correctly. Just drives me crazy, and I am not even in healthcare anymore…
