Product Description
Caristix Cloak is an effective software tool for de-identifying HL7 messages. The software allows
HIT specialists and integration engine software to generate anonymized or even pseudonymized
data. Cloak is available as a standalone software for workstation or as a Web Service for server.
Server Edition is best to embed de-ID within your integration engines.
How it works ?
Cloak performs substitutions of the HIPAA 18 identifiers in HL7 messages converting them into dummy patient-ID. Cloak’s persistency and source generator are strong differentiators in the health industry.
Persistency
Cloak keeps the mapping of all original patient-ID value with their substituted identifiers (dummy).
This mapping can provide the full history of all medical events per patient-ID in order to have the big
picture of the clinical treatments while compliant to PHI. Which is crucial to clinical staff, health
specialists, IT and many others.
Custom substitution source generator
Cloak includes a built-in substitution fields as source generator. Cloak is customizable with your own source
data for the substitution generator. The software supports 11 data sources such as SQL query, Text, Excel
and so on.
