Truveta's approach to protecting patient privacy
Health data is inherently personal and deserving of the utmost protection. Safeguarding patient privacy while enabling access to health data for research is crucial for both preserving trust and advancing healthcare learning and innovation.
Truveta offers the most complete, timely, and clean regulatory-grade EHR data enabled by a growing health system collective. Data are linked across health systems and integrated with social drivers of health (SDOH), mortality, and claims data for a complete view of patient journeys. Truveta Data is normalized, de-identified, and updated daily, enabling scientifically rigorous research on any drug, disease, or device.
This whitepaper provides insight into:
- How data flows from our health system members to the Truveta platform and the advanced measures taken to ensure patient privacy and protect against potential re-identification
- The differences between Safe Harbor and Expert Determination when it comes to de-identification and Truveta’s approach to ensuring the highest level of patient privacy
- Techniques and algorithms applied to patient data to preserve data utility and value of the record for research, while protecting patient privacy
