De-Identifying Healthcare Data for Research

In order to meet HIPAA privacy guidelines for secondary use such as research and analytics, the healthcare data needs to be de-identified. HIPAA defines Protected Health Information (PHI) and proposes two methods for de-identifying data. FHIR Tools for anonymization, an open source tool developed by the HealthNext team, implements foundational capability for de-identifying FHIR data using different methods. This tool comes with a default configuration that is aligned with HIPAA safe harbor method of de-identification. In this talk we give a demo of the tool, discuss other common tools and techniques, and identify potential research opportunities in preparing healthcare data for secondary use.
