20150149208 | SYSTEM FOR ANONYMIZING AND AGGREGATING PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION - A patient anonymizing system includes a plurality of hashing appliances and data sources. Each appliance receives medical records containing at least confidential protected health information (PHI). A salt value is appended to each confidential PHI, and a hash is generated, which replaces the confidential PHI to generate an anonymized record. A master patient index server aggregates the anonymized records. A vector and cluster matching engine determines if the anonymized record matches a unique patient identifier corresponding to a second anonymized record. A comparison vector is generated by comparing hash values of the confidential PHI with hash values in the second anonymized record, and is crossed with a confidence vector having weights based on match conditions. This produces a match confidence level, which is compared to a threshold. If the threshold is met, the anonymized record is mapped to the unique patient identifier associated with the second record. | 05-28-2015 |
