About this talk

Protected health information, or PHI -- sometimes also referred to as personal health information -- is any information collected via healthcare services that can potentially identify an individual. This includes medical histories, test results, insurance information, and more. PHI is important for treating individuals and aids in research initiatives, but is also a target for hackers. If not secured properly, PHI can be stolen, sold, or encrypted.
