Name: De-identification Method
Keyword: DeidentificationMethod
Tag: (0012,0063)
Value Representation: LongString
Value Multiplicity: 1-n

• Described in the contexts:
  • Patient Module > De-identification Method
  as follows:
  Attribute Name: De-identification Method
  Type: 1C
  Attribute Description:

  A description or label of the mechanism or method use to remove the Patient's identity. May be multi-valued if successive de-identification steps have been performed.

  Note

  1. This may be used to describe the extent or thoroughness of the de-identification, for example whether or not the de-identification is for a "Limited Data Set" (as per HIPAA Privacy Rule).

  2. The characteristics of the de-identifying equipment and/or the responsible operator of that equipment may be recorded as an additional Item of the Contributing Equipment Sequence (0018,A001) in the DICOM Standard Part 3 - Section C.12.1. De-identifying equipment may use a Purpose of Reference of PS3.16 DCM109104(109104, DCM, "De-identifying Equipment").

  Required if Patient Identity Removed (0012,0062) is present and has a value of YES and De-identification Method Code Sequence (0012,0064) is not present. May be present otherwise.
