All patient reports submitted to NAEC must be properly de-identified. Centers will be notified if any protected health information (PHI) is found in a report and centers will be required to properly de-identify and resubmit all reports before their accreditation application can be processed. If your center does not de-identify appropriately, then your center will not be accredited.

Instructions on how to de-identify reports may be found on the Accreditation Tools page.
