A method for de-identifying and transporting health information, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, the health information;
- de-identifying, by the processor, the received health information based on at least one predetermined rule;
- determining, by the processor, whether the de-identified health information is in a proper form based on a third-party standard;
- when the de-identified health information is not in the proper form:
- determining, by the processor, whether the de-identified health information has correctable errors to place the de-identified health information in the proper form;
- and
- when the de-identified health information has correctable errors, error-correcting, by the processor, the de-identified health information to place the de-identified health information in the proper form;
- when the de-identified health information is in the proper form, parsing, by the processor, the de-identified health information to determine an entity to receive the de-identified health information;
- and
- streaming, by the processor, the received health information to a secondary storage device in a manner that complies with Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.

A system comprising:
- data processing hardware;
- and
- memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, the memory hardware storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations for de-identifying and transporting health information, the operations comprising:
- receiving the health information;
- de-identifying the received health information based on at least one predetermined rule;
- determining whether the de-identified health information is in a proper form based on a third-party standard;
- when the de-identified health information is not in the proper form:
- determining whether the de-identified health information has correctable errors to place the de-identified health information in the proper form;
- and
- when the health information has correctable errors, error-correcting the received health information to place the de-identified health information in the proper form;
- when the de-identified health information is in the proper form, parsing the de-identified health information to determine an entity to receive the de-identified health information;
- and
- streaming the received health information to a secondary storage device in a manner that complies with Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.
