PHI stands for Protected Health Information. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 is a US federal statute that provides protections for personal health information such as physical records, electronic records, or information recorded verbally.
Any website that includes PHI is required to be HIPAA compliant. Ensuring HIPAA compliance includes how PHI data is accessed and stored, data encryption, SSL, hosting and other aspects of a website or web application.
