Physical safeguards under HIPAA refer to the measures implemented to protect electronic health information (ePHI) from unauthorized physical access, tampering, and theft. These include facility access controls, such as security measures to limit physical access to locations where ePHI is stored or processed, as well as workstation and device security protocols. Examples include locked doors, surveillance systems, and secure disposal of electronic devices. The goal is to ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive health information and that data is protected from physical threats.
