Hipaa compliant database
HI,
We have a SQL database that needs to be HIPAA compliant. Users access the database through an encrypted website.
I do not have experience with HIPAA and I was wondering if somebody can give me some tips on how to ensure that the application is compliant.
The database is running on a W2K3 server, SQL 2000(soon to be upgraded to 2005/2008). The website can be accessed only through https and it has a thawte certificate for authentication.
Thank you for your help!

...or 2008.
It is good that you use HTTPS and that you are planning on upgrading to SQL 2008. What you need to do with the database is have it accessed by users - giving them access to only what they need and no more.
The basic idea of hipaa is to give only the amount of access users need and keep everyone else out.
I hope this information helps. Good luck.
