HIPAA uses the terms "use" and "disclose" to describe the two ways that protected health information can be "handled". The "use" and "disclosure" of PHI is permitted for disclosure to the patient. The "use" or "disclosure" of PHI is required: When it’s requested or authorized by the patient. HIPAA restricts how much patient PHI can be used or disclosed by enforcing the "minimum necessary" standard. There are several situations where this minimum PHI may be used or disclosed without patient authorization. At a minimum, a patient’s signed authorization is not required, but their verbal permission is required, to use or disclose minimum PHI for the purpose of maintaining a covered entity’s patient directory.
