HIPAA (misspelled as HIPPA in the question) and its PHI provisions specifically regulate how covered healthcare entities handle Protected Health Information - while closely related, the question identifies PII as the broader regulatory category most directly violated by publicly exposed identifiable records.

PII (Personally Identifiable Information) encompasses any data that can identify a specific individual, and medical records contain highly sensitive PII including names, dates of birth, addresses, and health conditions.
