One of the reasons why some sources have difficulty answering the question what is considered PHI is that the definitions which can help explain the answer are divided between the General Provisions of the Administrative Simplification Regulations ( Consequently, while it is relatively easy to individually answer the questions “what is PHI, PII, and IIHI?” and “what are designated records sets?” separately, it is not as easy to put both answers together in order to determine what information should be protected and what information patients have the right to request access to. What is PHI, PII, and IIHI?

Personally identifiable information (PII) is any information connected to a specific individual that can be used to uncover that individual's identity, such as their social security number, full name, or email address. As people have come to increasingly rely on information technology in their work and personal lives, the amount of PII shared with organizations has grown. For example, companies collect customers' personal data to understand their markets, and consumers readily give out their telephone numbers and home addresses to sign up for services and shop online. Sharing PII can have its benefits, as it allows businesses to tailor products and services to the wants and needs of their customers—like serving up more relevant search results in navigation apps. However, the growing storehouses of PII accumulated by organizations attract the attention of cybercriminals. Hackers steal PII to commit identity theft, sell it on the black market, or hold it captive via ransomware.
