Hospital near me has password requirements for their electronic medical records system as:

6 characters, no more, no less
2 characters must be a number
4 characters must be a letter
case insensitive
never changed

And for new hires and what not, they tell them to use {hospital abbreviation}{2 digit year}. Like casu24

No freaking wonder
