C. how does hipaa play a role in medical transcription

 HIPAA ensures that Protected Health Information (PHI) of any individual remains protected  and confidential in the process of medical transcription.

HIPAA has a Privacy Rule the defines a set of national standards for protection and disclosure of certain types of individual health information, called protected health information or PHI.

This is  where medical transcriptionists must especially be key on. They will be entrusted with sensitive patient data in the course of their work. They  have a legal, moral and ethical duty to protect this data. If PHI  gets out in a manner not specified by the Privacy Rule, then this will be deemed as violation of the Rule and legal action will be taken.
