I'm guessing you're the author then? I'm just making my way out of a course called Health Informatics. Most of what we've done is look at HIPAA, and the standards that make sending patient info from one hospital to another possible. In general the whole situation in a mess. I understand the purpose of not sharing identifiable data with the world, stops people from targeting people because of their conditions. But we have a wealth of information that's been made effectively useless from a research perspective. this isn't much of a question, just wanted to express my frustration with the whole thing as well. that said I've got a lot of respect for your mission, and the balls required to publish your otherwise HIPAA protected info.
