9 Other Ways to Protect PHI Work areas Lists that are posted in work areas, should not include first and last names of individuals Photographs-releases, releases, use of first name or initials General Identifying information about an individual should not be discussed in public, public areas of the Imagine! offices or with those who are not entitled to PHI Discussions in public should not include consumer/family last names Discussions in public should not include other information that may breech confidentiality
