Amends the Freedom of Information Act. Modifies the definition of "private information" by providing that medical records include electronic medical records and the information contained within or extracted from an electronic medical records system operated or maintained by a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act covered entity. Exempts from disclosure all protected health information that may be contained within or extracted from any record held by a covered entity, including information that alone or compiled or under circumstances in which the patient information combined with other information could allow for patient identification, in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
