1. PHI
PHI is Protected Health Information. You are
responsible for keeping patients' PHI private.
Viewing, reading, or discussing a patient’s PHI that is not necessary for
the completion of your job is a HIPAA breach.
WHAT IF THERE IS
A HIPAA BREACH?
If the privacy/security of a patient’s PHI may have been
compromised in any way, the incident must be
immediately reported to the organization’s HIPAA
officer.
