170.315(b) (10) Electronic Health Information Export

EHI means “electronic protected health information” (ePHI) as defined in 45 CFR 160.103 to the extent that it would be included in a designated record set as defined in 45 CFR 164.501, regardless of whether the group of records are used or maintained by or for a covered entity. EHR (electronic health record) systems provide means for exporting PHI (protected health information) that allows healthcare clinicians to share information while maintaining the privacy and security of patient data.
