Interested in the PHI and PII protection in patient data collection challenge?

" The “restructured data element” layer constitutes actual data tables in the research data repository. All protected health information in this layer, with the exception of information allowed in Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant limited dates, is either removed or replaced by encrypted values that cannot be linked back to the source data. Additional constructs may be incorporated into this layer to meet specific project needs. Figure 3 presents a logical model of key data tables in the restructured data element layer (lookup tables are not presented). "
