Case Study: Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network improves patient privacy and data access with Privacy Analytics

Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network transforms EMR data with Privacy Analytics to protect patient privacy

The Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network (CPCSSN) needed to develop a multi-disease electronic record surveillance system for research while protecting patient privacy. They partnered with Privacy Analytics to find a proven methodology to de-identify sensitive health information from practices across Canada.

Privacy Analytics implemented its solution to securely de-identify the patient data. This allowed CPCSSN researchers and healthcare practitioners to transform vital EMR information into rich, accessible data. The result was an improved ability to conduct chronic disease surveillance, primary care research, and practice quality improvement, ultimately helping to enhance the quality of patient care.
