Which measure provides the highest level of security for electronic transmission of patient health information under the HITECH Act?
Encryption
Password protection
Firewall implementation
Activity logging
Under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, encryption provides the highest level of security for protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI) during transmission. Encryption converts data into a coded, unreadable format that requires a specific key to be deciphered, ensuring confidentiality even if intercepted. While passwords provide access control, firewalls protect networks, and activity logs are used for auditing, none of these measures directly secure the data itself while it is in transit as effectively as encryption.
