Home » Use original value
This generator is to be used when you don’t want a data element to be changed. Here
are two use case examples.
If the data type Extended Person Name (XPN) is part of the list of data
types to de-identify, you might need to preserve some of the fields using this data
type.
Data Type | Component | Generator |
XPN | 2 – Given Name | Excel File |
FN | 1 – Surname | Excel File |
Segment | Field | Component | Subcomponent | ID | Generator |
PV1 | 7 – Attending Doctor | Use Original Value |
Using this configuration, you would make sure all names are de-identified except
the attending doctor’s name.
Prevent de-identifying a field that is defined as a ID |
Field IDs must have a generator associated with them but, if for some reason you prefer having the original value, you can set this to avoid any changes in that value. |
Re-use the original data and combine it with other generators |
In Advanced Mode, you can de-identify the original value by specifying several generators, but you could also include the original value to combine it with other generated values. |
