This is stupid. We don't store any patient data thus we are HIPPA compliant?
This is not a constructive way to have a discussion, and is unwelcome on HN.
>We don't store any patient data thus we are HIPPA compliant?
Yes, trivially so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuous_truth
From your link: "For example, a child might tell his or her parent 'I ate every vegetable on my plate', when there were no vegetables on the child's plate to begin with."
You might piss off whomever your contract is with when you tell them you've been deleting data instead of storing it, and there may be grounds for a different lawsuit. But they can't say you're not HIPPA compliant. [0]
[0] I don't 100% know the specifics of HIPPA, so I'm not sure if this would really apply, because I know you need to keep detailed audits and logs of various things.
