HIPAA Security & e-PHI

“Electronic Protected Health Information,” often referred to as e-PHI, encompasses all patient-related data generated, stored, exchanged, or received through electronic means. Its digital nature makes it susceptible to potential loss or unauthorized access. “Covered Entities” encompass businesses and organizations responsible for managing this electronic protected health information, including hospitals, physical therapists, dentists, health insurance providers, and various healthcare practitioners. These entities are obligated to adhere to the “Security Rule,” which mandates the establishment of “reasonable and appropriate” administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect e-PHI.

To meet the requirements for “Reasonable and Appropriate” Safeguards, Covered Entities must:

Ensure the confidentiality, security, and availability of all e-PHI generated, received, or transmitted.
Proactively identify and mitigate potential threats to the integrity and security of the information.
Guard against any anticipated unauthorized uses or disclosures of e-PHI.
Ensure that workforce members accessing this information comply with established safeguards.

Definitions within the Security Rule are as follows:

Confidentiality: Guaranteeing that e-PHI remains inaccessible and undisclosed to unauthorized individuals, preventing improper disclosures and misuse of protected health information.

Integrity: Ensuring that e-PHI remains unaltered and undamaged by unauthorized means.

Availability: Making certain that e-PHI remains accessible and readily usable upon request by authorized personnel.

How to Determine which Aspects of the Security Rule are Right for Your Organization?

Determining the appropriate Security Rule elements for your organization involves recognizing that covered entities vary widely, from large multi-state health plans to smaller local physical therapy practices. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) acknowledges the adaptable and scalable nature of the Security Rule, empowering covered entities to assess their unique circumstances and requirements. This enables them to implement solutions that align optimally with their needs, taking into account factors such as their physical size, organizational complexities, capabilities, technological infrastructure (including hardware and software components), financial considerations, and the likelihood of potential e-PHI data loss, along with the potential consequences of risks to e-PHI.
