Variable: LIMITED_DATA_SET_PROFILE
constLIMITED_DATA_SET_PROFILE:DeidProfile
The Limited Data Set / longitudinal research profile. Identical to Safe Harbor except dates are date-shifted (a single consistent per-patient offset, intervals preserved) rather than generalized to year - so time-series analysis survives.
This is deliberately less protective than Safe Harbor and is NOT Safe Harbor. A shifted-but-real date is still "an element of a date" (§164.514(b)(2)(i)(C)), so this profile:
- is not labelled
safe-harbor(the reserved-label guard would reject it); - requires a keyed per-patient DeidContext (an absent key is a fatal
DEID_NO_KEY); - produces an Expert-Determination-supporting dataset, not a certified de-identification, and not, on its own, a HIPAA §164.514(e) Limited Data Set - disclosing an actual Limited Data Set additionally requires a Data Use Agreement, which is the consumer's responsibility.
Example
import { LIMITED_DATA_SET_PROFILE } from "@cosyte/deid";
LIMITED_DATA_SET_PROFILE.requiresContext; // => true (date-shift needs a per-patient key)
