Limited Data Set: The Complete Guide What Is a Limited Data Set? A limited data set is a type of protected health information (PHI) that doesn’t contain direct identifying information about individuals, as defined by the Privacy Regulations under HIPAA. Why Is a Limited Data Set Important? A limited dataset allows researchers to study specific populations without compromising the privacy of individuals. And conducting research is how we improve public health, develop new treatments, and advance medical research. Limited Data Set for Research Limited data sets allow researchers to advance medical research while respecting the privacy of individuals. How Does HIPAA Protect Limited Data Sets? HIPAA Privacy Regulations protect limited data sets by limiting how these data sets can be used and disclosed. In other words, a limited data set can only be used for public health, research, or healthcare operations purposes, and those disclosing the data and those receiving it must enter into a Data Use Agreement (DUA). What's a DUA? The DUA (Data Use Agreement) establishes how the limited data set will be used, disclosed, and protected by the data recipients (who are usually researchers). It also describes who’s allowed to use and receive the limited data set. Additionally, the DUA prevents recipients from trying to identify or contact the individuals from which the limited data set came.

How to Use Limited Data Sets Safely and Securely Only use and disclose limited data sets for authorized purposes (public health, research, and healthcare). Protect patient privacy by complying with the DUA and HIPAA Privacy Rules. Take action to end or repair any violations of the DUA, and if that doesn’t work, stop disclosing PHI and report the incident to the HHS Office. Protect and secure patient datasets, limited or otherwise, by having HIPAA-compliant software and high-end security, including encryption. Limit access to only those who require it. Conduct periodic Access Reviews and promptly remove access for those who no longer require it. Follow Minimum Use guidelines; use the minimum amount of data you need for your purpose.
