Hi List members,
   In reviewing the HIPAA requirements for security of patient files, it
appears that we need to have a lock on doors between the files and
anyone who has no need to see them.. (including some of our staff).
   Here is the website for one type of lock that won't require a key for
each time you go through it. These locks run $250 and up.

Any other solutions you have come up with for this challenge?

I'll post responses.
