I haven't seen the actual proposed regulatory text yet, but Modern Healthcare is reporting that OCR will lower the maximum fine level for organizations that violate HIPAA, depending on the organization's level of culpability.  Obviously, OCR could have exercised prosecutorial discretion in levying fines, but it can't hurt to encourage organizations to lower their culpability level.
