The healthcare world is abuzz with the news that the Department of Health and Human Services is auditing Atlanta's Piedmont Hospital:
Neither Piedmont nor the HHS has confirmed that the audit was launched, and few details about it have been disclosed publicly. But an HHS document obtained by Computerworld shows that Piedmont officials were presented with a list of 42 items that the agency wanted information on.
Among them were the hospital's policies and procedures on 24 security-related issues, including physical and logical access to systems and data, Internet usage, violations of security rules by employees, and logging and recording of system activities. The document also requested items such as IT and data security organizational charts and lists of the hospital's systems, software and employees, including new hires and terminated workers.

Because your brain is wired that way:
According to a new study, the brain only chooses to remember memories it thinks are most relevant, and actively suppresses those that are similar but less used, helping to lessen the cognitive load and prevent confusion.An example of this is when passwords are changed. The new passwords are similar and thus surpressed. It takes repetition to get the new password to be remembered, probably just in time for it to be changed.

Consistency, covering the basics and using metrics Great article for all management, not just information security. When problems crop up in management, it is usually because either we stopped doing some basic thing like cross-department meeting or it could have easily been avoided by implementing some new simple thing.
