Patient Health Information

Patient Health Information (PHI) refers to any data related to a person's health, medical history, and treatment that can identify that individual. This can include details like names, addresses, diagnoses, lab results, and insurance information. PHI is sensitive and protected by laws to ensure privacy and security. Healthcare providers, insurers, and related organizations must handle it carefully to prevent unauthorized access. Proper management of PHI helps ensure that patients receive safe and tailored healthcare, while also maintaining trust between patients and healthcare professionals.
