Privacy-Preserving Framework for Publishing Electronic Healthcare Records

Privacy-Preserving Framework for Publishing Electronic Healthcare Records

In the 2018 Connections in Smart Health Workshop, Nan Zhang and collaborators presented a poster on their recent progress for an NSF-sponsored collaborative research project on “Privacy-Preserving Framework for Publishing Electronic Healthcare Records”. In the poster, they demonstrated the deficiencies of the state-of-the-practice anonymization efforts, the major privacy threats posed by linking administrative data and web data sources such as social media, and potential solutions inspired by the idea that a carefully screening of a small number of most representative cases might be able to satisfy a wide variety of research needs.
