Answer

The answer is c. subpoena duces tecum

Explanation
Option a: HIPAA Security Rule

The HIPAA Security Rule is designed to protect electronic personal health information (ePHI) that is created, received, used, or maintained by a covered entity. It requires appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of electronic health information. It does not specifically refer to a court order for producing medical records.

Option b: HIPAA Privacy Rule

The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals' medical records and other personal health information. It applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically. While it governs the use and disclosure of PHI, it does not specifically describe a court order for producing records.

Option c: subpoena duces tecum

A subpoena duces tecum is a type of court order that requires a person or entity to produce documents or records for a court proceeding. In the context of health care, it is used to compel a health care provider to produce medical records at a deposition or court hearing.

Option d: protected health information (PHI)

Protected health information (PHI) refers to any information in a medical record that can be used to identify an individual and that was created, used, or disclosed in the course of providing a health care service. It is not a term that describes a court order.
