Newbie to healthcare here with a very basic question: if a provider stores medical records electronically, and a patient requests those records to be sent via mail, is it still considered ePHI/EHI? In other words, is it the way the data is maintained rather than the method of transmission? (Asking in context of new Information Blocking rule)

The way that the data is maintained.

Both ways

I thought email isnt allowed. Ous EMR provided a patient logon portal for them to download their ePHI. Its my understanding that anything medical (diagnosis, treatment) plus anything that can indentify someone (PII) makes it ePHI regardless of what form that data is in (ie paper, zipfile, pdf, jpg...). Someone please correct me if im wrong.

Email isnt good because it isnt encrypted - fails security rule. Additionally, its easy to email the wrong person and get a violation.

I used to see people who didn't care about current events or politics as intellectually lazy and irresponsible.

However, I feel burnt out on the constant stream of divisive bickering and toxicity.

It feels like ideas don't matter and pragmatism has become a dirty word for both sides.

For the first time in my life, I don't want to know what's happening in the world and I don't care who wins.

Apathy feels good right now.
