list of patients’ medications

spreadsheet file of patients’ home addresses contained in an e-mail from your supervisor
D
names of patients’ pets
E
names of patients’ high schools
F
photocopies of patients’ health insurance identification cards

Explanation

Personal health information includes information that identifies a person and is connected to their health, care, or health coverage. Patient names and medication lists are health-related information, and home addresses or insurance identification cards can identify patients in a healthcare context. Pets’ names and patients’ high schools are not, by themselves, personal health information in the examples given.
