class FhirDeIdentification extends Transformer with HasFeatures with LightDeIdentificationParams with DeidModelParams with CheckLicense with HasInputCol with HasOutputAnnotationCol with ParamsAndFeaturesWritable

A Spark Transformer for de-identifying FHIR resources according to configurable privacy rules.

Overview

Performs field-level obfuscation on FHIR JSON documents using FHIR Path expressions. Supports R4, R5, and DSTU3 FHIR versions with type-aware de-identification strategies. Additionally, supports different parser types (JSON, XML) for FHIR resources.

Example:
  1. Basic Pipeline Usage

    val deid = new FhirDeIdentification()
      .setInputCol("raw_fhir")
      .setOutputCol("deidentified")
      .setMode("obfuscate")
      .setMappingRules(Map("Patient.birthDate" -> "Date"))
    
    val pipeline = new Pipeline().setStages(Array(deid))

    A Boolean variable indicating whether to obfuscate ages based on HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Privacy Rule.

    The HIPAA Privacy Rule mandates that ages from patients older than 90 years must be obfuscated, while age for patients 90 years or younger can remain unchanged.

    When true, age entities larger than 90 will be obfuscated as per HIPAA Privacy Rule, the others will remain unchanged. When false, ageRanges parameter is valid.

    Param that indicates whether consistency should be enforced across different parts of a name (e.g., first name, middle name, last name).

    Param that indicates whether consistency should be enforced across different parts of a name (e.g., first name, middle name, last name). When set to true, the same transformation or obfuscation will be applied consistently to all parts of the same name entity, even if those parts appear separately.

    For example, if "John Smith" is obfuscated as "Liam Brown", then:

    • When the full name "John Smith" appears, it will be replaced with "Liam Brown"
    • When "John" or "Smith" appear individually, they will still be obfuscated as "Liam" and "Brown" respectively, ensuring consistency in name transformation.

  50. val geoConsistency: BooleanParam

    Whether to enforce consistent obfuscation across geographical entities: state, city, street, zip and phone.

    Whether to enforce consistent obfuscation across geographical entities: state, city, street, zip and phone.

    ## Functionality Overview This parameter enables intelligent geographical entity obfuscation that maintains realistic relationships between different geographic components. When enabled, the system ensures that obfuscated addresses form coherent, valid combinations rather than random replacements.

    ## Supported Entity Types The following geographical entities are processed with priority order: - **state** (Priority: 0) - US state names - **city** (Priority: 1) - City names - **zip** (Priority: 2) - Zip codes - **street** (Priority: 3) - Street addresses - **phone** (Priority: 4) - Phone numbers

    ## Language Requirement **IMPORTANT**: Geographic consistency is only applied when: - geoConsistency parameter is set to true AND - language parameter is set to en

    For non-English configurations, this feature is automatically disabled regardless of the parameter setting.

    ## Consistency Algorithm When geographical entities comes from the chunk columns:

    1. **Entity Grouping**: All geographic entities are identified and grouped by type 2. **Fake Address Selection**: A consistent set of fake US addresses is selected using hash-based deterministic selection to ensure reproducibility 3. **Priority-Based Mapping**: Entities are mapped to fake addresses following the priority order (state → city → zip → street → phone) 4. **Consistent Replacement**: All entities of the same type within a document use the same fake address pool, maintaining geographical coherence

    ## Parameter Interactions **IMPORTANT**: Enabling this parameter automatically disables: - keepTextSizeForObfuscation - Text size preservation is not maintained - consistentObfuscation - Standard consistency rules are overridden - file-based fakers

    This is necessary because geographic consistency requires specific fake address selection that may not preserve original text lengths or follow standard obfuscation patterns.

    Whether to apply HIPAA Safe Harbor ZIP code obfuscation rules.

    Whether to apply HIPAA Safe Harbor ZIP code obfuscation rules.

    When enabled (true), ZIP/ZIP+4 obfuscation follows the HIPAA Safe Harbor guidance:

    1. The algorithm extracts the first five digits from the input (accepting formats like "12345", "12345-6789", "123456789" and tolerant forms). 2. If the first three-digit ZIP prefix is in the HIPAA restricted list (the 17 prefixes derived from 2000 Census data), the ZIP MUST be suppressed to the canonical value "000**". 3. Otherwise, the ZIP is generalized to the first three digits followed by "**" (i.e. XXX**). The +4 portion will be masked with asterisks if present.

    When disabled (false), HIPAA-specific ZIP obfuscation is not applied and the component's default/custom ZIP obfuscation is used instead.

    variant-to-canonical entity mappings to ensure consistent obfuscation.

    variant-to-canonical entity mappings to ensure consistent obfuscation.

    This method allows you to define equivalence rules for entity variants that should be obfuscated the same way. For example, the names "Alex" and "Alexander" will always be mapped to the same obfuscated value if they are linked to the same canonical form.

    It accepts an array of string triplets, where each triplet defines:

    • variant: A non-standard, short, or alternative form of a value (e.g., "Alex")
    • entityType: The type of the entity (e.g., "NAME", "STATE", "COUNTRY")
    • canonical: The standardized form all variants map to (e.g., "Alexander")

    variant and entityType comparisons are case-insensitive during processing.

    This is especially useful in de-identification tasks to ensure consistent replacement of semantically identical values. It also allows cross-variant normalization across different occurrences of sensitive data.

    Sets variant-to-canonical entity mappings to ensure consistent obfuscation.

    Sets variant-to-canonical entity mappings to ensure consistent obfuscation.

    This method allows you to define equivalence rules for entity variants that should be obfuscated the same way. For example, the names "Alex" and "Alexander" will always be mapped to the same obfuscated value if they are linked to the same canonical form.

    It accepts an array of string triplets, where each triplet defines:

    • variant: A non-standard, short, or alternative form of a value (e.g., "Alex")
    • entityType: The type of the entity (e.g., "NAME", "STATE", "COUNTRY")
    • canonical: The standardized form all variants map to (e.g., "Alexander")

    variant and entityType comparisons are case-insensitive during processing.

    This is especially useful in de-identification tasks to ensure consistent replacement of semantically identical values. It also allows cross-variant normalization across different occurrences of sensitive data.

    Example
    val equivalents = Array(
      Array("Alex", "NAME", "Alexander"),
      Array("Rob", "NAME", "Robert"),
      Array("CA", "STATE", "California"),
      Array("Calif.", "STATE", "California")

    Sets the value of selectiveObfuscateRefSource.

    Sets the value of selectiveObfuscateRefSource. This is used to selectively apply different obfuscation methods to specific entities. The keys are entity names and the values are the obfuscation sources. If an entity is not specified in this map, the obfuscateRefSource param is used to determine the obfuscation method. The values can be: - 'file': Takes the fakes from the file. - 'faker': Takes the fakes from the embedded faker module. - 'both': Takes the fakes from the file and the faker module.

    Sets the value of selectiveObfuscationModes.

    Sets the value of selectiveObfuscationModes. The dictionary of modes to enable multi-mode deidentification.

    • 'obfuscate': Replace the values with random values.
    • 'mask_same_length_chars': Replace the name with the asterix with same length minus two plus brackets on both end.
    • 'mask_entity_labels': Replace the values with the entity value.
    • 'mask_fixed_length_chars': Replace the name with the asterix with fixed length. You should also invoke "setFixedMaskLength()"
    • 'mask_entity_labels_without_brackets': Replace the values with the entity value without brackets.
    • 'mask_same_length_chars_without_brackets': Replace the name with the asterix with same length without brackets.
    • 'skip': Skip the entities (intact)

    The entities which have not been given in dictionary will deidentify according to setMode()

    Example:

    deidAnnotator
    .setMode("mask")
    .setSelectiveObfuscationModes(Map(
