In terms of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, PHI stands for "Protected Health Information". This is the sensitive health information that, under the law, requires a release from you in order for a medical institution to share it with someone else. The terms and restrictions are legally defined by the HIPAA Act of 1996 (which specifies "health information" and "Individually identifiable health information") and 45 CFR 160.103 (which defines PHI in terms of "Individually identifiable health information").
