Protected health information (PHI),also called personal health information, is the information that contains all the necessary information from the past to the current state of an individual to help identify, diagnose or administer the right care and treatment. An individual's Protected Health Information will contain

  • Demographic information,
  • medical condition and histories,
  • test and laboratory results,
  • insurance information ETC

All healthcare providers are regarded as covered entities under the HIPAA( Health Insurance Portability and Accountability) and must adhere an follow its Privacy rule when handling Patients health information.

Therefore, we can say the best option on the list in ensuring privacy of patients are kept is that

Lisa can make sure her computer screen at the front desk is angled away from patients so they can't see other patients
