Mortality & Morbidity Review Redaction with anonym.plus

Healthcare Solution · Hospital Administration · HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR Part 164)

M&M redaction is the removal of personal data from a mortality and morbidity case. It meets the HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR Part 164) before the meeting. anonym.plus works on your device and keeps the timeline and learning points whole.

When this applies

An M&M case names the patient, the team, and the dates that led to a poor outcome. The meeting needs the clinical lesson, so those people come out beforehand.

How anonym.plus handles it

1. Open the case in anonym.plus on your workstation.
2. Local OCR handles any scanned chart pages.
3. It flags the patient, the named team, and the dates.
4. Confirm the flags and keep the clinical findings.
5. Swap each item, or black it out for the slide pack.
6. Save the clean case. The source stays on your device.

What you need to provide

• The case file (PDF, DOCX, or slide export).
• An operator (Replace keeps the timeline readable).
• Optional role map for [PATIENT] and [TEAM] labels.

PHI entity types detected

Compliance achieved

• Meets the HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR Part 164) for review.
• Clears patient PHI and the named clinicians together.
• Offline work keeps a sensitive case inside the unit.

Limitations & cautions

An M&M case can be unique on its own: a rare event on a known date at one unit may re-identify even after names go. Shift the dates, broaden the place, and treat odd cases with extra care before sharing.
