HIPAA limited data set

Updated

A limited data set is HIPAA protected health information with direct identifiers such as names, addresses and record numbers removed, but which may keep dates, towns and ZIP codes.

It is still PHI and may be shared only for research, public health or health care operations under a data use agreement.
