Kobie Horne developed and integrated an HL7 de-identification configuration for the HHSProtect jurisdiction within the CDCgov/prime-reportstream repository. Focusing on configuration management and data mapping, Kobie created a new sender and receiver named hhsprotect in the prime-router settings, enabling privacy-preserving processing of de-identified HL7 ORU_R01 messages. The technical approach involved mapping OBX elements to support regulatory compliance and interoperability in health data routing. Using HL7 and YAML, Kobie’s work established a de-identification pipeline that aligns with privacy requirements and minimizes operational risk. No major bugs were addressed, reflecting a focused and well-scoped engineering effort during the project period.
