All data and information obtained from records of individuals with brain or head injury are classified as Class I, Class II, or Class IV. Data can only be released as provided by statute and Title 186 of the Nebraska Administrative Code (NAC). Any de-identified data asked for by and furnished to a researcher may not be intentionally re-identified in any manner. Should a recipient of de-identified information unintentionally or accidentally be able to identify any individual, the recipient must not use that information in any way. The recipient must notify the Department of the means of accidental reidentification in order for the Department to consider additional procedures to safeguard against breaches in confidentiality.
