So far, we have covered requirements of the HIPAA Privacy Rule. That rule explains what kind of data
must be protected (PHI), and how we protect conversations and printed materials from unauthorized use and disclosure.
Most of the Protected Health Information we have is stored electronically. HIPAA calls this electronic Protected
Health Information, or ePHI.
The HIPAA Security Rule tells us what we must do to protect ePHI. There are three basic requirements:
- Use Physical Safeguards to protect ePHI.
- Use Technical Safeguards to protect ePHI.
- Use Administrative Safeguards to protect ePHI.
