GoTranscript Achieves HIPAA Seal of Compliance: What It Means for Clients

GoTranscript, a leader in transcription services, has reached a major milestone in healthcare data security. By using Compliancy Group’s HIPAA solution, The Guard™, GoTranscript now has the HIPAA Seal of Compliance™. This article explains what HIPAA compliance is, why it matters, and how GoTranscript ensures data safety for healthcare clients.

What Is HIPAA Compliance?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets rules for protecting sensitive healthcare data in the United States. These laws are designed to keep protected health information (PHI) safe and private.

  • Protected Health Information (PHI): Any information that can identify patients and relates to their health, treatment, or payment.
  • Applies to: Healthcare providers, insurance companies, and vendors who handle or come into contact with PHI.

According to the HIPAA Journal (2023), healthcare data breaches increased by 22 percent in recent years, highlighting the need for strong data protection.

Key HIPAA Rules

  • Privacy Rule: Protects patient information from unauthorized sharing.
  • Security Rule: Sets standards for securing electronic PHI.
  • Breach Notification Rule: Requires organizations to notify patients and authorities if a data breach occurs.
  • Omnibus Rule: Expands the requirements to business associates and updates the Privacy and Security Rules.
  • HITECH Act: Promotes the use of technology in healthcare while improving privacy and security.

GoTranscript partnered with Compliancy Group to meet every HIPAA rule. The company completed a specialized Implementation Program that reviews all necessary standards.

  • Underwent a complete security and privacy assessment.

The Compliancy Group validated GoTranscript’s efforts and awarded its Seal of Compliance™. This seal proves GoTranscript’s dedication to the security and privacy of healthcare data.
