HHS Breach notification data presented in a useful (maybe) way...

 OK,
I know you can get the HHS Breach Notification information here:
http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/administrative/breachnotificationrule/postedbreaches.html

It is great that HHS put's this out, but...
using the data is pretty painful.  It's just an HTML page, with no good way to make sense of the data.

Because I wanted to dig deeper, I tossed all the data into a Google Docs spreadsheet.

It's not pretty, but maybe someone will find it helpful.

Caveats:
I did this in just a few minutes, I believe it is accurate... but I'm not perfect.
I'd love to keep this up to date as HHS releases new data, but I'm not sure that will happen...
Use at your own risk.
