Security and HIPAA

It's laughable that companies still think a basic password are sufficient to proect their digital property or the patients' PHI (Personal Health Information). This is just all the more reason for healthcare companies to move into higher security. I read an article about something related to this http://ezinearticles.com/?Healthcare-IT---Your-Practices-Digital-Wellness&id=496665.
It discusses the importance to have a digital records and have them secured for the success of healthcare companies.

It seems to me this is a burden being placed on the wrong shoulders. There is not an It system in the world that can stop an individual taking information in their heads and spewing out at the nearest undesirable third party.
