Shadowing Consumers Using PHRs at Home

“In the PCHIT initiative, our primary point of contact for shadowing clinician-patient interaction has been the clinician and has taken place in clinics. However, we know that very few people–even those with chronic conditions unless they have serious acute events–spend more than 1% of their time in traditional clinical settings (think about how many hours out of hte 8,760 hours in a a year you spend in the doctor’s office or hospital).”

State-of-the-art Anonymization of Medical Records Using an Iterative Machine Learning Framework

“The anonymization of medical records is of great importance in the human life sciences because a de-identified text can be made publicly available for non-hospital researchers as well, to facilitate research on human diseases. Here the authors have eveloped a de-identification model that can successfully remove personal health information (PHI) from discharge records to make them conform to the guidelines of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act.”

Rapidly Retargetable Approaches to De-identification in Medical Records

“This paper describes a successful approach to de-identification that was developed to participate in a recent AMIA-sponsored challenge evaluation.”
“We were able to achieve good performance on the de-identification task by the rapid retargeting of existing toolkits. For the Carafe system, we developed a method for tuning the balance of recall vs. precision, as well as a confidence score that correlated well with the measured F-score.”

Evaluating the State-of-the-Art in Automatic De-identification

“To facilitate and survey studies in automatic de-identification, as a part of the i2b2 (Informatics for Integrating Biology to the Bedside) project, authors organized a Natural Language Processing (NLP) challenge on automatically removing private health information (PHI) from medical discharge records. This manuscript provides an overview of this de-identification challenge, describes the data and the annotation process, explains the evaluation metrics, discusses the nature of the systems that addressed the challenge, analyzes the results of received system runs, and identifies directions for future research. The de-indentification challenge data consisted of discharge summaries drawn from the Partners Healthcare system.”
