+'''De-Identification of PHI.''' PHI may be used to create information that is not individually identifiable health information (de-identified).  The HIPAA privacy rules do not apply to information that does not identify an individual and with respect to which there is no reasonable basis to believe that the information can be used to identify an individual.  PPHI is de-identified when 18 identifiers of the individual or of relatives, employers or household members of the individual are removed and the organization does not have actual knowledge that the information could be used alone or in combination with other information to identify an individual who is the subject of the information.  The identifiers are:
+:#Names
+:#All geographic subdivisions smaller than a state
+:#All elements of dates except  year, for dates related to individual
+:#Telephone numbers
+:#Fax numbers
+:#Electronic mail addresses
+:#Social security numbers
+:#Medical record numbers
+:#Health plan beneficiary numbers
+:#Accounts numbers
+:#Certificate/license numbers
+:#Vehicle identifiers and serial numbers
+:#Web Universal Resource Locators (URLs)
+:#Internet Protocol (IP) address numbers
+:#Biometric identifiers, including finger and voice prints
+:#Full face photographic images and other comparable images and
+:#Any other unique identifying number, characteristic/code, except as permitted under the Re-identification section below

+'''Re-Identification of PHI.''' A code or other means of record identification may be assigned to allow information de-identified under VIIA about to be re-identified by UNMC, provided that:
+:#The code or other means of record identification is not derived from or related to information about the individual and is not otherwise capable of being translated so as to identify the individual; and
+:#The code or other means of record identification is not used for other purposes and the mechanism for re-identification is not disclosed.
