Personal health information is, in general, more sensitive than other personal information. Health records require a superior level of protection at all stages of their existence, from creation of the records to final disposition. The PHIA Procedures describe practices and precautions that assist individuals and the University as a whole to achieve and maintain protection of personal health records and information in accordance with the Act.
