- The United States Department of Health & Human Services´ Office for Civil Rights has defined PHI as any Personal Identifying Information (PII) that – individually or combined – could potentially identify a specific individual, their past, present or future healthcare, or the method of payment. There are eighteen unique identifiers considered to be PHI: 1) names, 2) geographic data, 3) all elements of dates, 4) telephone numbers, 5) FAX numbers, 6) email addresses, 7) Social Security numbers (SSN), 8) medical record numbers (MRN), 9) health plan beneficiary numbers, 10) account numbers, 11) certificate/license numbers, 12) vehicle identifiers and serial numbers including license places, 13) device identifiers and serial numbers, 14) web URLs, 15) internet protocol addresses, 16) biometric identifiers (i.e. retinal scan, fingerprints), 17) full face photos and comparable images, and 18) any unique identifying number, characteristic or code. PHI is no longer considered PHI when it de-identified of these unique attributes. PHI is commonly referred to in relation to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and associated legislation such as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) [2].

# The Data Holder's Responsibility
In OHDSI, it is the responsibility of each data holder to know, understand and follow local data governance processes related to use of the OMOP CDM. In the United States, these processes will follow your organization's local interpretation for maintaining compliance to PII and PHI protection. In OMOP CDM implementations containing European Union citizen data, local governance processes will include measures to comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) [3]. As a community, the OHDSI data network covers more than 330 databases from 34 countries. There is extensive community knowledge on the interpretation of rule sets and exemplar IRB and local governance workflows that can be made available to institutions navigating these processes for the first time. If your organization does not have an established data governance process, please reach out on the [OHDSI Forums](forums.ohdsi.org) under "Implementers" and the community can respond with shared guidance from their own deployments. As a community, we aim to conduct research that keeps patient-level data local and share only aggregate results.

# Complying with Privacy Preservation
Complying with local governance processes depends on the rule set being used. There may be allowable times when data use agreements and data transfer agreements exist between collaborating institutions to facilitate sharing of PII and PHI. In this section we will discuss common rule sets that organizations adhere to.

You or someone in your organization will need to create a process to build your CDM. Don’t worry though, you are not alone! The open nature of the community means that much of the code that other participants have written to transform their own data is available for you to use. If you have a data license for a large administrative claims database like IBM MarketScan® or Optum’s Clinformatics® Extended Data Mart, chances are that someone has already done the legwork. Here is one example of a full builder freely available on [github](https://github.com/OHDSI/ETL-CDMBuilder) that has been written for a variety of data sources.
