This is a tough question. I think that one way HIPAA has effected computers and techonology is through requiring all computers/stations to be locked when not in use, and requiring a password to log on. Access to information that you do not need is being more restricted, and a lot of sytems now keep track of all the information you review to make sure you only use it for business reasons.

Google “health insurance fraud punishment” and you will find: “In response to the increased amount of health care fraud in the United States, Congress, through the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), has specifically established **health care fraud as a federal criminal offense with punishment of up to ten years of prison in addition to significant financial penalties.**” She is done.
