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 stopsudostop; sudo service bahmni-lab stopsudostop; sudo 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
