Outsourced medical data redaction staff ensure that all identifying or sensitive information are redacted from patient records to ensure privacy and confidentiality. They work for medical research companies, hospitals, pharmaceutical firms and any other medical facility that stores identifiable patient data.

Medical records hold vital patient information but this information is often shared with third parties, such as medical providers, hospitals, health insurance companies, universities (for research purposes), government departments, and lawyers or courts. As more patient data is stored digitally, the importance of maintaining patient confidentiality, when this data is shared with third parties, is not only essential but is required by law.

Medical data redaction staff make sure that all required data is removed prior to publication or sharing, and that it’s deleted correctly. This information can include data that are likely to cause significant physical or mental harm to a patient if they request to view their records. It can also include information revealed by third parties that are essential to their care, as well as data concerning a patient’s age, address, contact details, diagnoses, treatments and medical history.
