Chapter 12
Handbook of Research on Emerging Developments in Data Privacy
These are sensitive and personal data that can be used to identify an individual. Personal identifiable data is the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), while the former is associated to Europe; the latter is associated with America. Examples of PII include a combination of one or more personal identifiers such as full face photographic images and any comparable images plus name, or date of birth plus address and health records. A full list of personal identifiers is shown in Table 1 .

Abstract
Health IT is the use of Information Technology (IT) in healthcare to improve patients' experience, enable quality care, efficiency, speed, and security of the collection, exchange, sharing, and storage of sensitive personal information. But Health IT faces a number of notable challenges ranging from privacy risks to trust and confidence in the use of EHRs. In this chapter, a framework for conducting Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) of Health IT projects is discussed. Privacy impact assessment is a process through which privacy risks are assessed. The chapter includes recommendations for mitigating identified risks and ensuring compliance to policy and processes for handling and processing of highly sensitive and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
