Haha, 'use' refers to the movement of information outside the entity? That's like saying 'eating' refers to the movement of food outside your mouth!

That makes sense too, I can see how C) could be the correct definition of 'use' in HIPAA regulations.

I think C is the best answer. HIPAA defines 'use' as the internal processing of information within the covered entity. Anything outside the entity would be considered 'disclosure'.

I disagree, I believe C) is the correct answer as it involves utilizing and analyzing information within the covered entity.
