Three key concepts of HIPAA are (1) institutions are required to inform patients of the privacy rights they have and how the institution will handle their PHI; (2) the institution and health care providers are to use or disclose the patient's PHI only for the purpose of treatment or payment or for health care operations; and (3) health care providers disclose only the minimum amount of PHI necessary on a need-to-know basis to accomplish the purpose of the use.
