John,
In this use case, the record is not held by the health care site
where the patient's confidential information is secure and private,
but in a community repository operated by a Regional Health
Information Organization (RHIO). Operating edge proxies which host

Will,
It is not a good idea to have sensitive information in
free text. If you do, it should not go to general
circulation, right?
How can one extract such info from free text? One way
is to remove such words from free text files using a
macro of some sort. FInd and replace can be used to
Thanks Ross!
Due to your question i have come to know the present
state of text mining and NLP. These will give you your
solution I guess.

If one uses a structured report along the lines of the ASTM CCR, then
I think it would be relatively easy to remove the sensitive information,
since all of the data would be tagged.

I am confused too. Wouldnt such a technology have to be turning

The only acceptable answer would be Maury's option 3. The patient decides.
Anything else would be be inappropriate.
And not just HIV status. The patient, and only the patient, should have the

Dear 80n,
This is, in fact, the use case in discussion.
Assume the patient has agreed to suppress detail x from circulation
beyond his/her physician's eyes in the local free text based records
system. What are the best FOSS tools to publish to the general
circulation records environment
That is the reason for the patient consent in the HIPAA regulations. In
my opinion, the
patient would need to review the data to approve its release. The usual
escape clause
is for the data to be used in the normal care of the patient But if it
is for some
other purpose, then it needs
