Anonymization of Data Services
MMS’ risk-based dataset anonymization approach protects patient privacy and maximizes the data utility by keeping the risk below our predetermined threshold. Our process is proven to produce high-quality anonymized datasets with less manual effort. The anonymization of each variable is driven by a standard rule set that can be reused across multiple studies. Our rule-building technology allows us to switch rules based on the personal information in each variable. Our tool can anonymize individual patient level data in different data sources, including SAS transport files, SAS7BDAT, Excel, and CSV.
