Medical Transcription Program
With the many improvements in computer technology and the internet, there are also certain risks that expose personal information to unscrupulous people. A medical transcription program is created with this in mind, so that information is passed on encrypted and secure lines to ensure patient privacy with our medical transcription online. Created by the Department of Health and Human Services and passed by Congress, HIPAA requires certain efforts to be taken to prevent disclosure of vital information. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines and penalties. The healthcare industry uses a variety of complimentary systems for patients such as scheduling, billing, insurance and medical records. Transcription companies have had to address these issues when working for physicians, hospitals and labs. Digital technology has increased services and reduced costs, but has increased the accidental disclosure of personal information.
Transcription Companies
Health information is anything that can be used to identify a person. Transcription companies must be aware of names, social security numbers, telephone numbers, license numbers and photographs that are obtained from a healthcare provider for the documentation in a patient's record. HIPAA only promotes the use of records for pursuing the patient objectives of treatment, quality assessment, insurance and legal procedures. Patient records can be threatened several ways from accidental disclosure, medical staff, computer hackers, theft or computer viruses. HIPAA also addresses the number of patients that might be put at risk and the type of information available such as financial or medical. A medical transcription program must ensure that there is secure networking with encrypted data and firewall protection as well as individual passwords and logins.
