Recent OCR activity: Touchstone and Medical Informatics Engineering: If you've been watching the news, you'd have seen a couple of recent HIPAA enforcement actions, with some striking differences.  

First, as I mentioned below, Touchstone Imaging got tagged for $3,000,000 for a server issue that left FTP files exposed to anyone searching the internet.  Then, shortly thereafter, business associate MIE got tagged with a $100,000 fine because a hacker got access to their patient files. Why the big difference?  I'll discuss in a later post. . . .
