All of the following are considered to be protected health information (PHI), except:

  1. assessment findings

  2. location of the call

  3. patient history

  4. treatment rendered

The correct answer is: assessment findings

Protected health information (PHI) includes any personally identifiable health information that can be linked to an individual. This can include things like a patient's name, address, social security number, and medical history. Choices B, C, and D are all examples of PHI because they pertain to an individual's medical care and can be used to identify them. However, assessment findings, while still important in the patient's medical care, do not typically contain personally identifiable information and therefore are not considered to be PHI.
