Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Clinical Research Data Management
  • Medical Natural Language Processing

Background:

  • Electronic Health Record (EHR) adoption offers clinical research opportunities.
  • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires de-identification of medical records for sharing.
  • A gap exists in user-friendly software tools for de-identifying free-text medical records.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce 'deidentify,' a novel, user-friendly de-identification software tool.
  • To provide a practical solution for practitioners to comply with data privacy regulations.
  • To facilitate the use of EHR data for clinical research.

Main Methods:

  • Development of 'deidentify,' a de-identification tool with a graphical user interface (GUI).

  • The tool runs on all operating systems and includes a pre-trained model.
  • Algorithm evaluation using a gold-standard corpus of nursing notes.

    • Main Results:

    • The 'deidentify' tool demonstrated adequate performance in de-identification tasks.
    • Achieved a recall of 0.919 and a precision of 0.645 on a nursing notes corpus.
    • The tool's pre-trained model allows immediate use, with options for manual configuration.

    Conclusions:

    • 'deidentify' offers a convenient and effective solution for de-identifying free-text medical records.
    • Its user-friendly interface and flexible configuration enhance usability for practitioners.
    • The tool supports clinical research by enabling compliant data sharing from EHRs.
