What does “minimum necessary” mean?
HIPAA’s “minimum necessary” component makes reasonable efforts to limit uses, disclosures and requests for protected health information to the minimum necessary to accomplish intended purposes. Basically, protected health information should be limited to: who really needs to know and how much does the person really need to know.
