Protecting data at risk can be really tough...
We do it really well so you don't have to.
Balancing Privacy and Quality
Healthcare and life science organizations strive to demonstrate outcomes that reduce cost, improve population health, and prove value to stakeholders.
At the same time, privacy concerns are increasing as the volume of healthcare data grows faster than ever from an increasing array of sources including claims, clinical, hospital, and research. Most healthcare leaders recognize the need for an effective, anonymized patient-level strategy that demonstrates outcomes and visualizes the patient journey, while meeting privacy obligations and without diminishing the analytic utility of the data.
MSA utilizes a standardized de-identification methodology – the Expert Determination Method – in order to balance data privacy and quality.
Best Practice Approach to De-Identification
MSA’s best practice approach to de-identification employs a combination of de-identification techniques - masking, encryption, and tokenization - to create a de-identified data set enabling patient-level analytics and/or longitudinal alignment of the patient data across multiple data sources. The data set can then be shared within the organization or with outside organizations.
Data Masking
Replacing an individual field within a data set with another value of the same data type and data format
Data Encryption
Encrypting one or more data fields using an encryption algorithm such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
Data Tokenization
Anonymizing a combination of multiple data fields using a one-way, non-reversible hashing algorithm
Have It Your Way
MSA will happily de-identify your healthcare data for you. We're also OK if you want to keep your data to yourself - you really don't have to share.
MSA keeps personal data personal no matter where the data is de-identified. You simply choose the MSA deployment option that best fits your needs.
