Automated PHI redaction makes clinical data management easier

Spend more time finding a cure and less time finding and redacting PHI.

Preparing patient records for research analysis can be a painstakingly laborious process.  De-identifying records is the main culprit, due to both the nature of the process and the consequences for not getting it right. Manual point-and-click redaction tools simply can’t keep up with large-scale jobs that involve millions of complex patient records.  

Intelligent clinical data capture software automatically identifies and redacts PHI buried deep within every document so you don’t have to. This simplifies clinical data management, which lets you get back to finding a cure or designing new treatments, and away from tedious manual tasks.

Our ID Shield automated redaction software can automatically find a variety of common types of personal information and can also be configured to find any specific data or type of data you’d like. Redactions are permanently burned into the file, so no amount of highlighting or resizing will allow anyone to see the sensitive information that’s been removed. Machine learning will drive up the accuracy rate to its fullest potential, teaching the software with every document passed through it.
