I'm just starting out (just received my diploma from transcription courses), and want to know what kind of hardware / software I need to be compliant with HIPAA regulations. Any help would be appreciated.

More than likely, any HIPAA compliance equipment/software will be addressed and provided by the company that you sign on with. Make sure that you have secured your wireless connection if you use one. Other than that, I would not invest in anything until after you find your first job.

HIPAA Compliant?
Apr 23, 2014

From what I am hearing, if you have an XP computer, you are not HIPAA compliant. It violates regulatory requirements. Then why is MM not supplying us with Windows 7? My XP computer they gave me was freezing up, so they sent me another XP. I asked them why they didn't send me Windows 7 and they said XP was cheaper. So now as of April 8, they are not HIPAA compliant. I would like to know how they get around this,,,,,,having many accounts and still having many employees submitting reports u ...

HIPAA - Need A Quick Check On HIPAA Rules
Oct 29, 2009

Hi, I need a quick check on HIPAA rules.  With respect to the health care debate, I want to write to my senator, etc., about a situation with a patient I transcribed on.  The only info. I intend to give is that the patient was a:  Russian immigrant, on welfare and receiving Medicaid benefits--when he should not have.  He and his "sponsor(s)" was responsible for his care and living expenses.  Further, I transcribed a note in which the doctor said that this patient wanted to re-sched ...


Hardware Lucency?
Nov 11, 2011

Likely an easy one, but is hardware lucency possible? My mind is telling me it might mean loose, as in no signs of the hardware being loose, but I don't think there is an appropriate spelling for what sounds like lucency? "Hardware remains well aligned without signs of breakage or lucency." Any ideas? ...
