1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a request from a user device for medical information that characterizes a group of individuals composed of multiple individuals from a set of de-identified medical data representing pre- or post-encounter characteristics of the individuals;
producing, by a hardware processor, tokens, wherein the identity of the individuals is unattainable from the tokens, each token being associated with an individual in the group, each token associable with a corresponding token in the set of de-identified medical data, and each token in the set of de-identified medical data being associated with medical data for a corresponding individual;
producing the requested medical information that characterizes the group of individuals by identifying the tokens in the set of de-identified medical data and the associated de-identified medical data that correspond to the produced tokens, wherein the produced medical information is absent personally identifiable information and has been produced without the individuals in the group having authorized production of such medical information that characterizes the group; and
providing the produced medical information to report the characteristics of the group of individuals absent authorization from the individuals in the group of individuals.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes producing medical information that characterizes a group of individuals from a set of private data representing pre or post-encounter characteristics of the individuals, wherein the individuals have had encounters with a healthcare facility. The identity of the individuals is unattainable from the produced medical information. The method also includes providing the produced medical information to report the pre or post-encounter characteristics of the group.

11. A system comprising:
-
a hardware encryption server for producing a token for each individual included in a group composed of multiple individuals identified in a request received from a user device for medical information that characterizes the group absent authorization from the group of individuals wherein the identity of the individuals in the group is unattainable from the tokens; and a data server for producing the requested medical information that characterizes the group from a set of de-identified medical data representing pre or post-encounter characteristics of the individuals by identifying tokens in the set of de-identified medical data and the associated de-identified medical data that correspond to the produced tokens, wherein an identity of each of the individuals is unattainable from the produced medical information, and the data server is configured to provide the produced medical information to report characteristics of the group of individuals absent authorization from individuals in the group of individuals. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. One or more computer readable storage devices storing instructions that are executable by a processing device, and upon such execution cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a request from a user device for medical information that characterizes a group of individuals composed of multiple individuals from a set of de-identified medical data representing pre- or post-encounter characteristics of the individuals; producing, by a hardware processor, tokens, wherein the identity of the individuals is unattainable from the tokens, each token being associated with an individual in the group, each token associable with a corresponding token in the set of de-identified medical data, and each token in the set of de-identified medical data being associated with de-identified medical data for a corresponding individual; producing the requested medical information that characterizes the group of individuals by identifying the tokens in the set of de-identified medical data and the associated de-identified medical data that correspond to the produced tokens, wherein the produced medical information is absent personally identifiable information and has been produced without the individuals in the group having authorized production of such medical information that characterizes the group; and providing the produced medical information to report the characteristics of the group of individuals absent authorization from the individuals in the group of individuals. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
