Policy guidance: this procedure explains how records about genomic testing are handled, who may access them and how long they are kept. It contains no records about any person or system. — Policy guidance naming the topic without any record (discovery only)

Known false positives

Medical terminology in health education materials, research publications, clinical guidelines, or public health documents without patient-specific data. Mitigation: Require corroborative evidence keywords confirming patient context. Look for co-occurrence with patient identifiers such as medical record numbers or dates of birth.
General wellness and fitness content using medical vocabulary without constituting protected health information. Mitigation: Layer with patient identifier patterns or healthcare-specific document structure detection to distinguish clinical records from general health content.
