Case Study: a large hospital network achieves rapid PHI breach review and deduplication with Canopy Software

Canopy’s Auto Review Completes “Impossible” PHI Data Mining Project

A large hospital network faced a significant challenge after a major PHI breach involving over 6,600 complex PDFs. The dense, duplicated patient data made it humanly impossible to identify impacted individuals within the 60-day HIPAA notification period using their traditional methods. The hospital's incident response team turned to Canopy Software and its Auto Review product to manage this impossible data mining project.

Canopy's AI-powered Auto Review solution automatically scanned, classified, and linked all PII/PHI data. It then consolidated the 4.28 billion entities into a list of just 3 million unique patients, a reduction of over 99%. Canopy Software completed the entire project in just 15 days, enabling the hospital network to meet its legal obligations and avoid massive manual effort that would have taken centuries to complete.
