The HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules protect the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information. HIPAA Rules have detailed requirements regarding both privacy and security. The HIPAA Privacy Rule covers protected health information (PHI) in any medium. The Privacy Rule also contains standards for individuals’ rights to understand and control how their health information is used. A major goal of the Privacy Rule is to ensure that individuals’ health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high quality health care and to protect the public’s health and well-being, while the HIPAA Security Rule covers electronic protected health information (ePHI). The Security Rule protects a subset of information covered by the Privacy Rule.
