Determining suitability of including records in the the CSH digital library
The project team will determine the availability of the records using the following principles:
- All documents containing PHI will be withheld from access. The project team will develop processes and policies for providing access to specific demographics.
- All documents already in the public sphere will be made available available publicly and without restrictions. Examples include:
- VA state legislature records
- Hospital reports
- Newspaper articles
- All non-public documents that are likely to contain personally identifiable information information about patients or hospital staff [Lorrie: I would like to further define restricted staff information] will be withheld from access. The project team will develop procedures and policies for providing access to these documents.
