Systems and Methods for Removing Personal Data from Digital Records

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• receive, at a client device of a first user, a first digital medical record associated with a first patient, the first digital medical record including personal data and medical data;
• generate, at the client device of the first user, a first fingerprint by applying a cryptographic function to at least a portion of the personal data;
• transfer the first fingerprint from the workstation of the first user to one or more computing devices;
• identify, at the one or more computing devices, a first alias associated with the first fingerprint, wherein to identify the first alias associated with the first fingerprint, the software is operable when executed to at least one of
• determine that the first fingerprint was previously stored on the one or more computing devices along with the first alias, and
• generate the first alias and store the first fingerprint and the first alias on the one or more computing devices;
• transfer the first alias from the one or more computing devices to the workstation of the first user;
• and
• generate, at the workstation of the first user, a first clean digital medical record based on the first alias and the first digital medical record.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
• receive, at a client device of a first user, a first digital medical record associated with a first patient, the first digital medical record including personal data and medical data;
• generate, at the client device of the first user, a first fingerprint by applying a cryptographic function to at least a portion of the personal data;
• transfer the first fingerprint from the workstation of the first user to one or more computing devices;
• identify, at the one or more computing devices, a first alias associated with the first fingerprint, wherein to identify the first alias associated with the first fingerprint, the processors are operable when executing instructions to at least one of
• determine that the first fingerprint was previously stored on the one or more computing devices along with the first alias, and
• generate the first alias and store the first fingerprint and the first alias on the one or more computing devices;
• transfer the first alias from the one or more computing devices to the workstation of the first user;
• and
• generate, at the workstation of the first user, a first clean digital medical record based on the first alias and the first digital medical record.
