Tip
This document explains how you can run an anonymize script on Bahmni database to anonymize patient data. It is a good idea to anonymize data before sharing it with outsiders to ensure privacy of medical data.

Warning
It is also illegal in many countries to share medical data with outsiders / tech staff without proper authorization. For instance in the USA see: http://searchhealthit.techtarget.com/definition/HIPAA-Privacy-Rule

Prerequisites

Note
This is tested for v0.80.

To make bahmni data anonymous first download all the files from:

Go inside vagrant box:

Code Block
vagrant ssh;

Stop services:

Code Block
sudo service openmrs stopsudo service bahmni-lab stopsudo service openerp stop

Then goto the directory where you have downloaded all the files from the above mentioned link.

For example if you have kept it inside "bahmni" then you have to do:

Code Block
cd /bahmni/<directory-name>/

From the directory, run this:

Code Block
sh ./anonymise.sh

It will execute with the following message: http://pastebin.com/JCSc1UPt

Then Start the services:

Code Block
sudo service openmrs start sudo service bahmni-lab start sudo service openerp start
