◉ Individually identifiable health information (IIHI). Answer:
Information that is a subset of health information, including
demographic information collected from an individual and
1. Is created or received by healthcare provider, health plan, or
healthcare clearinghouse
2. Is related to past present, or future physical or mental health or
condition of individuals, or past or present, or future payment for
the provision of health care to an individual, and that identifies the
individual: or with respect to which there is a reasonable basis to
believe that the information can be used to identify the individuals
◉ De-Identification. Answer: Consists of removing 18 items from
patient records before they are released to other agencies or
researchers.
The 18 items include name, contact information, identification
numbers, photographs, biometrics, and other elements by which a
participant could potentially be identified.
,Because de-identification includes removing dates, researchers
using de-identified data may not be able to answer some research
questions such length of hospital stay and seasonal patterns to
diseases
◉ Safe harbor. Answer: Certifying that the 18 elements for
identification have been removed or revised to ensure the individual
is not identified.
◉ Data use agreement. Answer: limits how the data set may be used
and how it will be protected.
◉ secondary data analysis. Answer: the process of searching for
interpreting existing information relevant to the research topic
Reuses data collected for a previous study or for other purposes,
such as data in clinical or administrative data bases.
◉ Confidentiality. Answer: the act of holding information in
confidence, not to be released to unauthorized individuals
Th researcher's management of private information shared by a
participant that must not be shared with others without the
authorization of the participant.
, ◉ Breech of confidentiality. Answer: Failure to keep privileged
medical information private
Can occur when a researcher, by accident or direct action, allows an
unauthorized person to gain access to a study's raw data
◉ Passive data collection. Answer: it is using a methodology which
takes place without the "participants" awareness and without them
having to do anything towards the research
The data being gathered are linked to specific participants and are
generated by wearable devices such as smartphones, or electronic
pedometers, by global positioning systems and by e-mails and text
messages.
◉ Protection from discomfort and harm. Answer: Based on the
ethical principle of beneficence which holds that one should do good
and above all, do no harm.
◉ Ethical principle of beneficence. Answer: Which holds that one
should do good and, above all, do no harm.
◉ No anticipated effects. Answer: Studies without direct
involvement. Or human participants.
