Insights on 21 CFR Part 11


24 October 2008
Capturing our experiences with de-identification over the last four years, this report presents a pragmatic risk management framework that allows secondary use while addressing privacy concerns. The framework has been applied on actual projects and in our lab's tools.




22 October 2008
A lecture by Khaled El Emam is now on-line. This lecture provides an overview of how to manage re-identification risk and the types of risks that are important to manage.

Our lab has recently been involved in an evaluation of re-identification risk of pharmacy data at CHEO. We made recommendations and provided technology for de-identfying the prescription data so that it can be shared with an external research company for drug utilization benchmarking purposes.
