By default, we will remove direct identifiers prior to analysis unless you expressly authorize their inclusion. Inclusion of identifiers increases the risk of re-identification.

I authorize inclusion of direct identifiers (name, full address, Social Security number) with my data

If identifiers are included, the custodian will implement administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect data, including access controls, encryption at rest and in transit, and limited user-level access. Despite safeguards, there is a residual risk of unauthorized access, misuse, or re-identification.

This authorization is effective on the date signed and will expire on: unless earlier revoked in writing. To revoke this authorization, submit a signed written notice to the health information management department of the facility identified in your patient record.

Risks, Benefits and Voluntariness

Potential benefits include improvement in care processes, identification of treatment patterns, and advancement of healthcare knowledge. Potential risks include the possibility of a privacy breach and the risk of re-identification when identifiers are present. Participation is voluntary. Refusal to sign will not affect your ability to obtain treatment, payment, enrollment in a health plan, or eligibility for benefits.

Redisclosure

Recipients of your information may not further disclose your protected health information except as permitted by law and contracts governing data sharing. Where required by law, recipients will be bound by data use agreements prohibiting unauthorized redisclosure and requiring implementation of security safeguards.
