I'm co-founder of http://agilezen.com/ -- lean project management app based on ideas from the Toyota Production System. I'm in charge of developing and maintaining the product, and my other co-founder/wife is in charge of keeping the business running.

Great application! With a bit of work it can jump!

huh.. do you have to house your servers in locked cages to maintain hipaa compliance?

No, you don't have to, but we take security very very seriously. However, we are not a covered entity in the eyes of HIPAA, but we do go above and beyond their guidelines for storing and transmitting patient data.

Wow, I've been kicking around an idea for a DICOM startup but I fear the HIPAA... Maybe I shouldn't. Thank you for that.

A previous day job of mine was at a company that does DICOM viewing and transmission. They did/do it pre- and post- HIPAA. HIPAA isn't too bad for software vendors. Just keep your records in order, and follow basic software engineering & security practices. They like to see documentation, especially design docs and test plans.

The FDA comes out every year or two, and of course they keep digging until they find something to ding you on, just so the inspector looks like they're doing their job.

EDIT: I now realize I was conflating FDA certification and HIPAA, though you'll probably have to deal with both while doing DICOM.
