Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Protected Health Information (or PHI) is, roughly, any individually identifiable information regarding health care, health care payment, or health status. While the HIPAA Privacy Rule strictly regulates the use and disclosure of PHI by covered entities, it also provides provisions which establish when data may be deemed "de-identified" and therefore no longer bound by its restrictions.
This talk discusses nuances and pitfalls of de-identification under the HIPAA Privacy Rule in general and, in detail, on a prescriptive approach known as "Safe Harbor" which calls for the removal of certain categories of identifying information.
Attendees will walk away with an understanding of how to determine what is and is not PHI, knowledge of de-identification requirements of the HIPAA Privacy Rule, and how to effectively implement de-identification in accordance under its "Safe Harbor" provisions.
