John,
You make some VERY good points. I actually never worry about HIPAA much, but I can't think of something more of a HIPAA violation than leaving the computer screen open.
I think locking the screen is a great idea. Did you mean Windows Key - L rather than CTRL - L? I only bring it up so others find the right shortcuts. Another benefit of locking your computer each time, is you get really good at typing your password.
The strange thing is, I would think it would be the doctors' complaining about not having two charts open and not the medical director. They are the ones that are generally concerned with HIPAA, etc.
