Format:Paperback
If you are looking for a solid review of the HIPAA Security Rule, I would suggest looking elsewhere. The breadth and depth of this chapter is very narrow (a mere 25 pages of shallow content) and I suspect it was actually written before the Final Security Rule was released in February of this year (2003). The frameworks for assessing Security Policicies and Procedures are nearly non-existent. While the book does have some solid HIPAA content, it's definitely not geared towards accurately assessing one's HIPAA Security Posture.

The book has some very useful information, but the style and or lack of editing detracts and distracts from its readability. For example: on page 2 the entire 4th paragraph is repeated word for word on page 7. On page 7 the 7th paragraph is repeated on page 9. The last paragraph on page 12 is identical to the first paragraph on page 13. On page 546 the first and third paragrpahs are identical, and the second and fourth paragraphs are identical. When reading along one gets a sense of deja vu and suspects they picked up the reading from the wrong starting point.

Lucid and comprehensive is my first thougt on this book. It definitely deserves a look. Has a valuable overview of the HIPAA compliance and clearly explains things that need to be done. Helpful for beginner as well. It serves a great purpose as a reference book with lots of information.
