[humanser] HIPAA Compliant File Box

[JD Townsend]

Hi,

Our hospital uses a nylon bag with a keyed lock.  We joke that a simple 
knife could open the bag without using the zippered opening or lock.  The 
compliance officer at the hospital feels that these bags offer the 
protection that law requires.  I'll find the make & model as soon as I am 
able.

Dear All,
    I am looking for a HIPAA compliant file box for transporting files to 
another office. According to HIPAA regulations, confidential files must be 
kep secure in a double locked file box. The office supply retailers stock 
such an item, however, all of them use combination locks that are 
inaccessible to the blind. Does anyone know where one might be able to get a 
double lock file box that uses a keyed lock, rather than a combination lock? 
I have asked this question of the Independence Market and they are unaware 
of any such products. I am certain there may be others on this list needing 
such a thing, so please feel free to write back to the list or directly to 
me at

Fraternally yours,
Marion
