Secure Data Transmission

Meaning

Secure Data Transmission refers to the clinical and technical imperative of ensuring that all sensitive patient health information, particularly complex diagnostic results like hormonal panels and genetic data, is encrypted and transferred across networks with strict adherence to privacy regulations. This process guarantees the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected health information (PHI) during its transit between patient, laboratory, and clinical provider. Maintaining this level of security is non-negotiable for building trust and complying with mandates like HIPAA in the digital health space.
