Whoever wrote these options must have had a wild night before the exam. D is clearly the correct answer - PHI doesn't include stuff that's 'in transit'. Come on, people, let's use our heads here!

Option E is an interesting one. Isn't de-identified health info supposed to be exempt from PHI rules? Ah well, I'll go with A to play it safe.

I'm not sure, but I think it's better to go with the definition that includes all individually identifiable health information.

Hmm, Option C is tempting, but PHI definitely includes information stored on paper, not just electronic records. A is the way to go.

That's a good point, Gwenn. De-identified health information is also important to protect, so option E) could be a valid choice too.

I agree with Colene, because PHI needs to include all individually identifiable health information to be protected.

I was leaning towards Option B, since I thought handwritten notes were exempt. But after thinking it through, I think Option A is the best choice.
