PHI Data Governance

Meaning

PHI Data Governance, where PHI stands for Protected Health Information, is the comprehensive system of rules, processes, and structures implemented to ensure the secure, private, and compliant management of all identifiable patient health data, including sensitive hormonal profiles and clinical notes. This governance framework dictates who has access to the data, how it is stored and transmitted, and how long it must be retained, establishing accountability for the entire data lifecycle within a clinical practice or wellness platform. It is a critical ethical and legal mandate for any entity handling patient-specific endocrine information.
