Best Answer

An electronic transmission is anything sent electronically like a fax, or e-mail. HIPPA deals with confidentiality of patient records, and HIPPA addresses electronic transmissions because they don't want their rules to only apply to paper copies of medical records, they want them to apply to all forms of medical records and medical communication.

Telegraph would be considered an electronic transmission.

Although HIPAA doesn't specifically name Telegraph as a method of transmission, if you were telegraphing PHI (Personal Health Information) to someone else in any means, including telegraph, you could still be in violation of HIPAA regulations.
