Frequently Asked Questions

What is information governance in healthcare?

Information governance in healthcare aims to align data management and access control with strict regulatory standards in a way that maximizes both data utility and patient privacy. Since PHI is particularly sensitive, the information governance in healthcare can be a complex yet critical task in ensuring high quality patient care.

Why do you need anonymization tools in the healthcare industry?

Anonymizing health data with data anonymization tools puts patient privacy first while allowing healthcare organizations to retain as much data utility as possible. This helps achieves HIPAA compliance, while allowing data teams to derive timely insights from patient information to deliver the best care possible.

What types of sensitive data are considered PHI?

The types of sensitive data that are considered PHI include patient health records, the services provided to them, test results, prescription and appointment information, medical billing and insurance information, and communication records between patients and providers, including electronic communications like telehealth visits.

Which data de-identification techniques are best for protecting PHI?

HIPAA specifies two methods for de-identifying protected health information (PHI) – Safe Harbor and Expert Determination. Safe Harbor involves removing 18 specific identifiers from a data set, while Expert Determination minimizes re-identification risk by applying statistical and scientific principles. Data de-identification techniques like conditional masking, nulling, k-anonymization, differential privacy, and randomized response can all be used to implement these methods and achieve HIPAA compliance.

Is de-identified PHI covered by HIPAA?

De-identified PHI is not covered by HIPAA, so long as the de-identification process satisfies either the Safe Harbor or Expert Determination method, as laid out in HIPAA’s Privacy Rule.
