Performance of Automatic De-identification Across Different Note Types
Free-text clinical notes detail all aspects of patient care and have great potential to facilitate quality improvement and assurance initiatives as well as advance clinical research. However, concerns about patient privacy and confidentiality limit the use of clinical notes for research. As a result, the information documented in these notes remains unavailable for most researchers. De-identification (de-id), i.e., locating and removing personally identifying protected health information (PHI), is one way of improving access to clinical narratives. However, there are limited off-the-shelf de-identification systems able to consistently detect PHI across different data sources and medical specialties. In this abstract, we present the performance of a state-of-the art de-id system called NeuroNER1 on a diverse set of notes from University of Washington (UW) when the models are trained on data from an external institution (Partners Healthcare) vs. from the same institution (UW). We present results at the level of PHI and note types.
