Medical transcription: What is meant by HIPAA compliant systems?

HIPAA protects the health insurance coverage of workers when they lose employment or change their employers. HIPAA also covers the privacy of identifiable health information (PHI- Personal Health Information) regardless of the format in which it exists, including electronic, written or verbal.

 HIPAA applies to:

• Health care providers
• Health plans
• Health care clearinghouses 
• Any such third parties that perform services involving PHI or exchange electronic data on behalf of the healthcare facility.

Under the last category HIPAA applies to medical transcription service providers, as they are involved in providing a service that involves the electronic transmission of PHI.

HIPAA and outsourced medical transcription

As already stated HIPAA applies to medical transcription because medical transcription is the process of creating records of the patient-healthcare professional encounter.  And the process of outsourcing medical transcription to a medical transcription service provider would involve:

• Uploading audio files  (narration of patient-healthcare professional encounter) to the server
• Transmission of audio files
• Downloading the audio files
• Transcribing the audio files
• Transmission of the finished transcripts
• Downloading the finished transcripts by the healthcare facility.

Considering the procedure involved security of data is applicable at all stages:

1. When Data is at rest: This would be safety of data when it is stored prior to transmission to the medical transcription service provider and when the finished transcripts are stored before transmitting back to the healthcare facility.

2. When Data is in motion: This would include safety of data during uploading audio files, transmission of audio files, downloading audio files and transmission of finished transcripts

3. When Data is in use:  This would involve safety of data when the audio files are being transcribed.

4. When Data is disposed:  This would involve safely disposing of defunct files in such a way to ensure that they are completely destroyed and cannot be accessed by unauthorized entities.

How does TransDyne ensure HIPAA compliance?

·       Use of the right systems and software: The use of 128-bit data encryption, multi-tiered application architecture, design level security safeguards, firewall protected networks, sterilized e-mail servers, denial of access procedures and multi-modal alerts safeguards data when it is at rest and when data is in motion.

·       Use of processes: Use of processes like company owned & managed facilities, not engaging any sub-contractors, employing manned security at the entry/exit points, round-the-clock video surveillance and the lack of removable storage media protect the data in use. The other measures taken for ensuring security of data in use are limiting the access to the application by User ID and an encrypted password. Access to files is limited based on the user's role. Once a user is logged in, if no activity is performed for certain time, the user is automatically logged out of the system. This ensures that there is complete security of data when it in use.

·       Educating people: Educating people on the importance and procedures for HIPAA compliance gives them a professional outlook. Having them give a commitment in writing further ensure HIPAA compliancy. This protects the data in all stages.

HITECH has improved and expanded on the concerns and issues addressed by HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). HITECH has added new requirements concerning privacy and security for health information that materially and directly affects many entities, businesses, and individuals in ways more diverse than HIPAA

How does HITECH affect medical transcription service providers?

HITECH has added as ‘Business Associates’, organizations that transmit protected Health Information and require access on a regular basis to such information.

Medical transcription is the process of converting audio records of the patient-healthcare professional encounter into text format. The process of medical transcription is made efficient and cost effective when outsourced to a professional medical transcription service provider. Medical transcription service providers come under the purview of HITECH as business associates, as they have access to patient health information and are involved in the process of transmitting this data back and forth during the process of transcription.

What are the steps to be taken by a medical transcription company to ensure compliance with the HITECH act?

To be compliant with the HITECH act, the medical transcription service provider needs to implement the following:

Identify the compliance requirements specific to their organization

Carry out a risk analysis that includes the total flow of Patient Health Information (PHI) during the process of transcription. This needs to include the beginning of the process, all the steps in between up to the conclusion of the process, namely:

1. Collection of dictation
2. Transmission of audio files
3.  Distribution of audio files for transcription
4. Shared access for quality checks
5.  Transmission of transcripts back to the healthcare professionals
6. Archiving

Identify the high-risk areas and look at the current risk containment measures. Revise the measures to ensure that they are in tandem with current requirements and latest technology, making sure there are no loopholes to allow for breaches

Ensure that employees and any third parties having access to PHI are fully trained on the privacy and security requirements. Make them aware of their role in protecting PHI

Review existing relationships between covered entities and develop a continuing compliance strategy

Develop a strategy to minimize breaches, an early detection plan for identifying breaches and an action plan for quick responses to contain breaches, if any

Medical transcription: Understanding cost

Medical transcription is the process of converting audio files of the patient-healthcare professional encounter into text format. These records form a part of the permanent patient record and are used for various purposes, including coding and billing for the purpose of reimbursements. Medical records are a valuable resource to the healthcare professional for providing quality healthcare on a timely basis.

In spite of being an important part of the healthcare process and an accelerant of the receivables cycle, medical transcription is one of the cost factors. To understand the cost of medical transcription it is important to evaluate all options available for availing medical transcription and evaluate the cost components of each method.  A healthcare facility can avail medical transcription services by the following means:

By having an in-house transcription team: To calculate the cost per line of transcription under this method, the healthcare facility needs to include indirect costs like cost of real estate, overheads, utilities, managerial/supervisory costs, cost of training, cost of repairs & maintenance, cost of weekend & holiday transcription, cost of IT along with the direct costs like Salaries and benefits paid to the medical transcriptionists. Factors like cost of overtime and loss of productivity during slack hours also need to be added to arrive at realistic costs.

By having independent contractors working for them: To calculate the costs under this method, apart from the cost per line of transcription, factors like cost of coordination of transcription activities, cost of in-house IT towards medical transcription, server costs for upload & download of files, cost of equipment & software provided to the Independent contractors, cost of security measures, needs to be added to arrive at the actual cost per line of transcription.

By outsourcing to a professional medical transcription service provider: Under this option the cost per line of medical transcription is clearly defined by the service provider. However the medical transcription service provider needs to evaluate on the accuracy, turnaround time, security, technology used and the billing method before arriving at the final costs.

By having a combination of the above methods: Using more than one source to meet medical transcription needs can lead to complexities like different methods of billing, different methods of calculating accuracy, different technology used by different providers, cost of coordination and the additional cost of ensuring security of data. This method could probably create confusion and additional work.

In conclusion, it can safely be said that outsourcing to a professionally managed medical transcription company can help the healthcare facility curb costs and limit it to the cost per line of transcription. However while doing so, care needs to be taken to evaluate the medical transcription service provider on the following:

·       Billing method

·       Security measures taken by the medical transcription service provider

·       Quality measures to obtain accuracy

·       Turnaround time

·       Technology
