e-PHI

Meaning

Electronic Protected Health Information, or e-PHI, specifically refers to any individually identifiable health information concerning a patient’s physical or mental health, the provision of healthcare, or payment for healthcare, that is created, received, maintained, or transmitted in electronic format. When dealing with sensitive hormonal testing results or genetic predispositions, e-PHI demands the highest level of security under regulatory mandates. Protecting this data is non-negotiable for maintaining clinical integrity.
