Patient Text De-identification, Natural Language Processing

Scrubber helps investigators ensure patient privacy when using physician notes for clinical research. Scrubber removes HIPAA defined Protected Health Identifiers by matching human expert and and machine defined rules for text processing. This software can work with note text either unformatted or contained within XML files or SQL databases. Launched in 2006, the use of Scrubber has been approved by numerous hospital IRBs and quality has been validated by physician review.
