PHI is different
Lesson 5 of 6 · Digitize & De-identify
1 · Learn the move · Fact-check list
In a healthcare office the rule changes shape. A schedule is a document. A schedule showing who gets a wound-care visit on Tuesday is health information about named people. Protected health information rides along inside things that don't look clinical at all: visit reasons in a calendar, a route sheet, an aide's shift note, the subject line on a fax cover. So the fact-check list is a pre-flight you run every single time, not a policy you read once in orientation. Nine lines, checked before your finger goes near the paste. Any line that comes back unsure means not yet.
You are building the verify-before-paste checklist for a healthcare office. Numbered yes/no lines, runnable in under a minute. Cover where health information hides: calendars, route sheets, shift notes, fax covers, spreadsheet columns off-screen, screenshots with header bars. Any unsure answer stops the paste. No statute names, no legal advice, our practice only, and where it goes past practice the line reads "ask before pasting." [our document types + who to ask when the answer is stop]
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
You run the office for a home-care agency. The scheduler wants AI help rebuilding next week's aide routes, and the route sheet carries client names, addresses, and visit types in three adjacent columns. Write a prompt for the checklist that goes on the wall before anyone touches it.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
