The high-level drivers for the De-Identification project are: • Reduce the risk of unauthorised access to identifiable data • Minimise the risks of re-identification\. • Protect patient privacy and comply with legislation, through the consistent application of a standardised de-identification and re-identification capability\. • Enable the linkage of data, without the need to flow identifiers\. • Provide de-identified data with a high analytic utility\.
