Summary: | Certain embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for retrieving and re-identifying patient data. Patient data may be re-identified by retrieving an encrypted or abstracted patient identifier. The identifier is used to retrieve a patient identifier associated with patient identification information. Patient identification information may be inserted into a file, such as a report or other document, at a local computer or web portal for access by an authorized user. A system includes a data storage storing patient data. The patient data includes an encoded patient identifier and an unencoded patient identifier. The system includes a workstation or other processor having a viewing application capable of viewing patient data in a file including the encoded patient identifier. The workstation invokes a procedure to replace the encoded patient identifier in the file at the workstation with the corresponding unencoded patient identifier using the data storage. |
