Protected Health Information (PHI)

Protected Health Information (PHI) includes all personal health information of an individual, including payment information and demographic information. It applies to oral, written, and electronic forms.

PHI is subject to even more stringent regulatory requirements than PII, which are imposed by HIPAA.

The ONC uses the term Electronic Health Record (EHI) which is very similar to PHI and subject to the same regulations.
