:: The Compliance Game: "CIOs are still struggling to comply with HIPAA's 10-year-old medical privacy regulations. And the smaller the healthcare organization, the harder the task. Fewer hospitals and healthcare facilities are fully complying with the law this year than in 2005, according to a recent survey by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), a professional organization for health information executives. And more than one-quarter of U.S. security executives whose organizations need to be HIPAA-compliant admit that they are not, according to "The Global State of Information Security 2006," a study released last month by CIO and PricewaterhouseCoopers." More in this report on the state of HIPAA compliance.

Partly fueled by a tougher regulatory framework—including Sarbanes-Oxley and the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002—IT vendors and service providers report they are now fielding more requests for information about their ITIL capability."
