I am going to use an AI assistant to help with clinical writing. Before I paste anything, help me build a de-identification checklist for my setting. My setting: [SPECIALTY, COUNTRY/JURISDICTION, PRACTICE TYPE] Applicable privacy framework: [HIPAA / UK GDPR & Caldicott / Australian Privacy Principles / OTHER] Produce a practical pre-paste checklist covering: 1. Direct identifiers that must always be removed 2. Indirect identifiers that are easy to overlook (occupation, rare diagnosis, unusual event, geography, family structure, employer, dates) 3. The "small population" problem — when a combination of non-identifying facts becomes identifying in a small community 4. What to do with dates: which to remove, which to convert to intervals 5. How to generalise age, ethnicity, and location without losing clinical meaning 6. A final 30-second sanity question I can ask myself before every paste Format as a checklist I can print and keep next to my desk.
