This comprehensive guide defines the secure data lifecycle management for OpenEvidence, an AI-powered platform for clinical evidence synthesis. It outlines data classification (e.g., clinical queries, patient responses), strict adherence to global regulations (HIPAA, GDPR, FDA), and technical requirements for handling Protected Health Information (PHI). Key processes include PHI de-identification, data validation, secure API integration, and compliant data export, ensuring the system maintains the highest level of patient privacy and regulatory compliance.

This guide demonstrates how to implement robust rate limiting and retry logic for critical healthcare APIs using a token bucket pattern. It covers managing specific service limits (e.g., clinical queries, evidence synthesis) and implementing strategies like exponential backoff and batch processing to ensure graceful degradation and reliable data retrieval in clinical decision support systems.
