Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments relate to the design of a system that facilitates review of electronic healthcare records to identify potential Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) violations. During operation, the system obtains health-care-related data from electronic healthcare records for a population of patients from multiple data sources. The system then analyzes the obtained health-care-related data to generate cases-of-interest based on surveillance criteria associated with potential HIPAA violations, wherein each case-of-interest is related to a specific patient and a specific user who has accessed health-care-related data for the specific patient. Next, the system presents the cases-of-interest to an analyst through a user interface, and allows the analyst to indicate through the user interface whether each case-of-interest requires further investigation.
