One of the most significant changes to the HIPAA regulations is the new rules concerning the breach of protected health information (PHI). What is a Breach? A breach is, generally, an impermissible use or disclosure under the Privacy Rule that compromises the security or privacy of the protected health information such that the use or disclosure poses a significant risk of financial, reputational, or other harm to the affected individual.
