Patient Information Integrity

Meaning

Patient Information Integrity is the clinical and regulatory principle ensuring that all Protected Health Information (PHI) is accurate, complete, consistent, and trustworthy throughout its entire lifecycle, from collection to disposal. This integrity is fundamental to patient safety and quality of care, as corrupted or incomplete data, such as inaccurate hormonal lab values or medication dosages, can lead to diagnostic errors and inappropriate treatment plans. Maintaining high integrity is a core mandate for all healthcare and wellness providers.
