Start with these two web sites on HIPAA. Basically, if your network is secure and you do not offer up private medical information without proper authorization, you are probably okay.

Another good source is the HIPAA main site at http://tinyurl.com/2mt7w (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) where you can find a checklist to see if you are or need to be compliant.
