What this trial measures
- The rate of de-identification of PII01/01/2017-01/31/2027
HIPAA Privacy Rule defines 18 types of personally identifying information, that need to be de-identified, which include personal names, addresses, significant dates, numeric identifiers (such as social security number). Our annotators label those words and numbers creating a gold standard and NLM-Scrubber tries to recognize and eliminate all of them. The rate of de-identification of PII refers to success of this outcome measure.
