Declarations
:
: The Humana Healthcare Research Human Subject Protection Office (HHR HSPO) used the US Department of Health and Human Services regulations 45 CFR 46 and the Office of Human Research Protections Guidance on Coded Private Information or Specimens Use in Research, Guidance (2008) to grant an informed consent waiver because it was determined this study did not constitute human subjects research and did not require institutional review board oversight. The decision was based on the determination that the investigation involved only analysis of coded information, and the investigators could not readily identify the individuals from which the information was derived.
