Lesson Overview

2.2 – Understanding Protected Health Information (PHI): Protected Health Information, or PHI, refers to any data that identifies someone and relates to their health, care, or payments. This includes names, addresses, birth dates, medical histories, and insurance details. When such data is stored, transmitted, or discussed, it must be handled carefully to prevent breaches. PHI can exist in any form—paper, digital, or verbal communication—and must remain confidential across all formats. HIPAA requires organizations to limit who accesses PHI based on role and necessity. Understanding how to classify and safeguard PHI protects individuals from identity theft and discrimination. It also ensures compliance and maintains professional integrity. Staff must learn how to properly store, transmit, and dispose of this information. Handling PHI correctly reduces organizational risk and promotes trust. Protecting PHI is not just law—it’s a core value of ethical healthcare practice.
