DataASAP is an Electron based desktop tool to help deidentify healthcare data easier. It runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. You may freely use this application.

Download the latest DataASAP release.

The use case this addresses is the situation where you need to send a deidentified transaction to some party, for example a technical support team. DataASAP allows you to simply paste the transaction into the application and press the De-identify button as shown below. Currently, DataASAP only supports NCPDP transactions such as Telecom D.0, SCRIPT 10.6 and SCRIPT 20170714. Future releases will contain support for X12 and HL7 transactions.

If you would like to get involved with this project as a developer, tester, submit ideas to improve it, please see the How to Help section below.

If you want to download the project and run it in development mode, clone the software into a folder, change directories into that folder and run the following command:

npm install
npx electron app/main
(or)
npm run dev

The screen shots below show what the application looks like and how it works.

You start by pasting your transaction into the top pane.

If the format of the data that you paste into the top pane is recognized, shown in the top Format Detected section, you can proceed with deidentifying your data. If it's not recognized the Format Detected section will show 'N/A'.

After pressing the De-Identify button, the data is de-identified in the lower pane as shown below. From here you can copy the deidentified data to the clipboard or save it to a file.

NOTE: The data that you paste in the top pane is not saved or sent anywhere. The data in the lower pane is only saved if you select the 'Save As...' button and save it to a file.

You can change the default de-identification values for each transaction type as shown in the screens below.

That's pretty much it.
