Data Segmentation for Privacy (DS4P)

Data Segmentation for Privacy (DS4P) is a method used to protect sensitive information within healthcare data. It works by dividing data into smaller parts and controlling access so that only authorized individuals can see all the details. This ensures that private information, such as personal identifiers or sensitive health details, is kept secure while still enabling necessary information sharing for medical care or research. Essentially, DS4P helps balance the need to share health information with the obligation to protect patient privacy.
