Protected health information

Also called: PHI, health data, medical records data, ePHI

Under US health privacy law (HIPAA), health information that can identify a person, such as a diagnosis tied to a name. Software that handles it for clinics must protect it under strict rules.

For example: A therapy notes app treats every session note as PHI and signs a business associate agreement with each clinic.
