A researcher plans to share the results of a research study after removing all study subjects' names, addresses, and dates of birth
The nurse realizes that the researcher has done which of the following with the patients' personal health information? 1. Deidentified the information
2. Reviewed the information prior to conducting the research
3. Received authorization
4. Created data
Deidentified the information
Rationale: Deidentification means that all information that acts as an identifier has been removed. After it has been removed, the information can be freely shared because it is no longer considered personal health information. Identifiers include name, address, and date of birth. Reviewing the information prior to conducting the research means the researchers assessed the feasibility of projects by examining information in patient medical records. Received authorization means the researcher has a signed authorization from a patient to be able to access personal health information. Created data means that the researcher created additional personal health information and will need authorization to disclose the contents.
