Ontelio's Censori™ solution accurately identifies and redacts all 18 entities, ensuring your healthcare data remains secure within your environment. Our robust system uses powerful proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) engines and processes for next-generation Named Entity Recognition (NER) and context detection together with grammar and spelling, providing a comprehensive solution for healthcare data privacy.
However, HIPAA compliance extends beyond removing these 18 entities. It also requires that organizations have no knowledge that the information could be used, alone or in combination with other data, to identify an individual. This is where Ontelio's expertise comes into play. We assist you in assessing the risk of re-identification from various perspectives, considering factors such as replicability, data source availability, and distinguishability.
Replicability: The Unchanging Nature of Certain Data
Specific information about an individual, such as date of birth, blood type, or health card number, is unlikely or impossible to change. These stable data points consistently appear in records alongside other information about the individual. This makes it possible to combine different pieces of information to match a health record with directly identifiable information.
Ontelio's solution addresses this challenge by properly redacting replicable information, significantly reducing the risk of re-identification. Our advanced algorithms and machine learning models are trained to accurately identify and redact this information.
Data Source Availability: The Risk of Enriching Data
When assessing the risk of re-identification, it is crucial to consider whether identifiable information is inadvertently left in the disclosed health data and the existence and accessibility of other data sources that may contain further information on the individuals in the data set.
Ontelio's solution considers the presence and accessibility of other data sources. We ensure that the disclosed data cannot be enriched with this information in a way that identifies the individuals. Our system provides a comprehensive data privacy solution that considers all possible avenues of data leakage.
Distinguishability: The Unique Characteristics of Individuals
Determining the distinguishing characteristics of an individual is not as straightforward as it may seem. Combining a 5-digit ZIP code, gender, and date of birth can uniquely identify 87 percent of the U. . population, and features such as scars or rare diseases can also distinguish an individual.
Ontelio's system assesses the risk of re-identification based on the distinguishability of the individual using the available data. We ensure that distinguishing characteristics are properly redacted to prevent re-identification. Our solution handles the complexity of distinguishing characteristics, providing a comprehensive and robust approach to data privacy.
In conclusion, determining whether a data set is adequately de-identified requires technical and statistical expertise. However, Ontelio simplifies this process, making it quick and effortless.
