Researchers have developed TIDE 2.0, an open-source engine designed for the de-identification of clinical notes, making them suitable for research purposes. This engine operates in two stages: an interchangeable recognizer and a cryptographically secure anonymizer that runs on local institutional hardware. A key feature is its ability to preserve temporal intervals and ensure consistent anonymization across multiple occurrences of the same identifier within a patient's notes, without relying on stored linkage tables. The system includes TIDE2-Sentry, a recognizer derived from a large language model, which achieved a span-level recall of 0.88 on in-domain data and 0.77 on a cross-institution corpus. AI
IMPACT Enhances the usability of clinical data for research by enabling secure and privacy-preserving analysis.
RANK_REASON The cluster contains an academic paper detailing a new technical engine for de-identifying clinical notes. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=0.7]
