As an aside, SAIC reportedly did not seem to think they were obligated to provide individual notification under HIPAA/HITECH, saying, instead, that they were complying with Department of Defense guidelines.   So the DOD gives individuals more protection and notification rights than HIPAA/HITECH?  Interesting.  This is where some uniformity would help.
