Any information in the medical record that may be linked to an individual must be removed before submitting your de-identified chart with your application materials. The privacy standards that are part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) require protection of “individually identifiable” health information. Removing any unique identifying number, characteristics, or codes from the participant chart you submit protects you from any HIPPA violation.
