PII is defined to mean information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual. See 2 CFR Section 200.79, However, 2 CFR Section 200.79 notes that certain information which is accessible via public sources, such as telephone books, public Web sites, and university listings and such information is considered "… Public PII and includes, for example, first and last name, address, work telephone number, email address, home telephone number, and general educational credentials."
17.3 HIPAA and HITECH are federal laws carried out through federal regulations that specifically address (i) PII that concerns a patient’s health matters (e.g., diagnosis, treatment, payment) and (ii) protected health information ("PHI"), which is a type of PII. PHI means any health information that identifies a patient (so it is PII); but PHI also includes information stored and transmitted electronically by HIPAA-covered entities or a business associate of a HIPAA-covered entity.
17.4 Service Providers will have access to certain PII (including PHI) of Users who become or seek to become patients of that Service Provider. Essentially, HIPAA and HITECH require, subject to certain exceptions, covered entities and business associates (defined in one or both such laws) thereof to protect the privacy of each patient’s PHI. Service Providers would be Covered Entities under federal laws.
17.5 Note that, for ease of reference herein, this Agreement uses the terms protected health information or PHI when referring to such type of information, whether or not such information is stored or transmitted electronically. Also, note that references herein to PII include PHI.17.6 When the context of provisions in this Agreement concern HIPAA matters or where the Parties’ performances under this Agreement concern confidentiality and non- disclosure matters that are specific to any PII that concerns any User’s health matters, the following terms in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as those terms in the federal HIPAA Rules: "breach," "data aggregation," "designated record set," "disclosure," "health care operations," "individual," "minimum necessary," "notices of privacy practices," "protected health information," "required by law," "secretary," "security incident," "subcontractor," "unsecured protected health information," and "use."
