I worked with de-identification of records - it was not only difficult, but also rewarding. The records were used in research, tied to other biomedical data.

I worked with de-identification of records - it was not only difficult, but also rewarding. The records were used in research, tied to other biomedical data. Some of it was simply migration of encounter data +/- a date range, with removal of the obvious stuff, too. Other was cool like NLP on doc notes to ensure stuff like “pt said the school shooting they got this wound from was..” (think: cohort sizes for major incidents are often small and therefore easy to re-id.)
