Abstract
We describe a case study in which we evaluated an open-source electronic health record (EHR) systempsilas requirements for compliance with the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Our findings suggest that legal compliance must be requirements-driven, while establishing due diligence under the law must be test-driven.
