The electronic transmission refers to the sending of information from one network-connected computer to another. Complying with HIPAA Transaction Standards means that covered entities must use the HIPAA defined standards when using electronic data interchange (EDI) for electronic transmission. Electronic data interchange (EDI) is the use of uniform electronic network protocols (formats) to transfer business information between organizations. Banking, financial, and retail businesses first began using electronic data interchange (EDI) to transmmit information in the mid-1960's, and it has been the transmission method of choice for businesses since the mid-1990's.
