Overview: This paper presents a report the aim of which is to design and test the reliability of a web-based system for multicenter, real-time collection of data in the Emergency Department (ED), under waiver of authorization, in compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Data can be accurately collected from on-duty clinicians in the ED using real-time, PC-Internet data entry in compliance with the Privacy Rule. Deidentification-reidentification of Protected Health Identifiers (PHI) was successfully accomplished by a password-protected encryption-deencryption mechanism to permit follow-up by approved research personnel.
