First of all, remember - HIPAA applies only to the United States. And the U.S.
is NOT the only country which has the internet.

Secondly, software can be used on an intranet also, not just the internet. On
an intranet it can be secured.

But medical information in the U.S. is considered highly sensitive, and must be
secured. You could place it on the internet. But you had better ensure that
the data is secure. Failure can land you in prison.
