HITECH stands for which act?

• A. Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health
• B. Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act
• C. Health Information Technology and Economic Health Care
• D. Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Help

Answer: (A)

HITECH stands for Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health. This comes from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which established incentives and rules to promote electronic health records, improve information exchange, and strengthen HIPAA privacy and security protections. The other phrasings mix up words or add "Act" in a way that isn’t the widely used expansion, so they don’t match the recognized name.
