Abstract

A method for de-identifying protected health information (PHI) associated with electronic medical records (EMRs) based on a common analysis structure (CAS) is provided. The method may include detecting a system event associated with a system comprising the EMRs. The method may further include in response to detecting the system event, detecting a first CAS associated with the EMRs. The method may further include extracting first CAS data associated with the first CAS, wherein the first CAS data comprises unstructured data associated with the EMRs and normalized annotations based on CAS objects that are associated with the unstructured data. The method may further include obfuscating the unstructured data associated with the first CAS. The method may also include generating a second CAS comprising the obfuscated unstructured data and a copied version of the normalized annotations, wherein the copied version of normalized annotations are correlated with the obfuscated unstructured data.
