The Center of Excellence for Protected Health Information

The CoE for PHI will develop and increase access to simple, clear, and actionable educational resources, training, and technical assistance for consumers and their families, and individuals at the front-lines of care. The CoE for PHI will also develop resources for state agencies and communities, who need to know how to promote patient care while protecting confidentiality. We will do this by ensuring that professionals have the knowledge, skills, and resources to implement privacy regulation on the job, and that patients and families are aware of their rights and options regarding confidentiality.
