With the increasing investments in electronic health records, and the rise in their deployment, more personal health information (PHI) is being collected and stored electronically. There is considerable demand for that data for secondary purposes, such as research, public health, quality improvement, and improving patient safety. Even when disclosures of PHI are permitted without patient consent, providers are reluctant to do so. In general, providers, privacy officers, and research ethics boards will require that health data be de-identified when disclosed for secondary purposes.

随着对电子健康记录的投资不断增加，以及其部署的增加，越来越多的个人健康信息（PHI）正在以电子方式收集和存储。这些数据有相当大的需求用于次要目的，如研究，公共卫生，质量改进和改善患者安全。即使在未经患者同意的情况下允许披露PHI，提供者也不愿意这样做。一般来说，提供者，隐私官员和研究伦理委员会将要求在出于次要目的披露健康数据时进行去身份化。
