Automated PHI Detection, Redaction, and Access Controller

Automated PHI Detection, Redaction, and Access Controller

Written by:Team Anglara
Published:August 11, 2025

Protect behavioral and medical records while keeping authorized teams productive.

Project Overview

A healthcare network needed to share records across teams and partners without exposing protected health information. We deployed an AI-powered pipeline that classifies documents, detects PHI, and applies context-aware redactions. Access is enforced via roles and just-in-time approvals; all events are logged immutably for audits. The result: secure collaboration with clear evidence of compliance.

The Challenges & Solutions

Challenges

Sensitive Behavioral & Medical Data

Different teams required different views of the same record.

Inconsistent Access Controls

Legacy systems lacked fine-grained permissions and auditability.

Regulatory Scrutiny

Leadership needed confidence in data protection controls.

Solutions

AI-Based PHI Detection

NLP models find identifiers, dates, and clinical attributes in text and PDFs.

Context-Aware Redaction

Remove or mask fields based on role and purpose—no over- or under-redaction.

Role-Based Access with JIT

Time-bound approvals for exceptions; every action logged.

Sharing & Retention Policies

Labels enforce where data can go and how long it stays.

Process

1. Define

Data inventory and risk analysis; map user roles and purposes.

2. Pilot

Start with high-volume document types and expand coverage.

3. Integrate

Connect EHR, file stores, and collaboration tools.

4. Operate

Monitor false positives/negatives and tune regularly.
