What is the relationship between HIPAA and PHI?
PHI (Protected Health Information) is defined under Part 164, Subpart E, section 164.501 of HIPAA. PHI is Individually Identifiable Health Information (IIHI) that is: * Transmitted as Electronic Media or * Stored in any medium described as electronic media in § 164.502 of SubSection E or * Is transmitted or maintained in any other form or medium But excludes: * Education records as covered under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) as ammended 20 U.S.C 1232g; and * Records as described at 20 U.S.C 1232g(a)(4)(B)(iv); and * Employment Records held by a Covered Entity in its role as employer. In practice at this time, PHI is treated as IIHI in that the emphasis on electronic communications is no longer considered a means of excluding IIHI from the PHI header. As such, HIPAA's function under the Privacy Rule (Section 164 of Subchapter C of the Act) is define PHI and to then discuss the means whereby PHI will be protected and the exclusions thereto. In simpler terms, the Privacy and Security sections of HIPAA were included to protect patient privacy. PHI is the information that is being protected. HIPAA explains when and how to protect this information, and the various reasons that such protections may be overridden.

What is considered PHI in hipaa?
PHI or Protected Health Information is pretty much anything that pertains to the patient's medical condition and can be used by a reasonable person to identify the patient. So, if I say, "a man with a broken leg", that's Heath information but not PHI. If, however, I say, "Fred Jones checked into our hospital today", that IS PHI. Other individually identifying health information (IIHI) includes SSN, phone number, email address or website, physical description, Patient ID Number (PIN), and quite a few other data. PHI is a major factor in the Administrative Simplification section of HIPAA, where -- for the first time -- federal law protects patient privacy. Very specific conditions are set up that allow or deny the exchange of PHI, with and without the patient's permission. Also, AdminSimp allows the patient to view her own medical record and PHI (in most cases), and to ask for corrections to the medical chart (actually the Designated REcord Set in HIPAA-speak). HIPAA sets a structure for criminal offense, fines and potential imprisonment for the illegal disclosure of PHI, and requires Covered Entities (CE's) to protect PHI pretty strenuously.
Can a VA Center have cameras in the waiting room does HIPAA regulate it?
Terrific question! The real question isn't so much the cameras though -- which are probably legal -- but the steps taken to (a) secure the footage so the patients privacy rights aren't violated, (b) and the patients access to the recordings, which should be accorded under the law. Bear in mind that HIPAA has really never been tested in court. All DOJ HIPAA cases have had their HIPAA components dropped, and replaced by more established law (for instance, a nurse who stole terminal patients' credit card info was originally charged under HIPAA, but that charge was dropped in favor of an Identity Theft charge). As video surveillance imagery is clearly Individually Identifiable Health Information (IIHI) and and the VA acts as a Covered Entity (CE) under this law, I'd say HIPAA does indeed regulate it, but the lack of case law is going to make this issue ... interesting.
Who has access to your medical records?
You, yourself, may access your own medical records (except for -- maybe -- a psychotherapists notes). This may require a request from you in writing, or it may not.Healthcare providers may request access to your record without permission, assuming they're treating you. You may request that your records not be passed along, but this request is not a requirement.Payers -- your insurance company, for instance, may request some of your medical records in order to process payment or billing. They are entitled to "the minimum necessary" amount of info required to do their job.Your medical records may be viewed in the process of "Operations", so the IT department in a hospital, for instance, may need to see some of your records in order to print them out. They are not allowed to reveal anything therein.Your records may be subpoenad by a court of law or a grand jury. You have the right to request the court seal your records after deliberations. The court will almost always comply.Healthcare providers may offer the relevant parts of your record to law enforcement in the event they are subpoenad to do so, or as supporting evidence in reporting a crime they are legally required to disclose.Covered Entities (who have legitimate copies of your healthcare records) have the option to reveal those records (except psychotherapy notes) to police with an Administrative Letters.Covered Entities may optionally reveal your records to law enforcement if said revelation is in the interests of National Security (although this clause is legally delicate and, barring an accompanying court order, likely will not stand the first challenge).If you are deceased, your survivors may petition the court to open your closed records. This is not always done.Any medical data about you may be revealed to or by anyone as long as the data being revealed does not include Individually Identifiable Healthcare Information (IIHI). So data can be revealed if nothing in the dataset can be used to specifically identify you. For instance, it's okay to say a patient was treated for the common cold in January, but NOT okay to say your name, birthdate, address, driver's license number, etc.Added: And. . . of course, to anyone you specifically name in writing.
