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.
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
This is tested for v0.80.
Steps
To make bahmni data anonymous first download all the files from:
https://github.com/Bahmni/bahmni-environment/tree/master/scripts/bahmni-tools/anonymise
Go inside vagrant box:
vagrant ssh;
Stop services:
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:
cd /bahmni/<directory-name>/
From the directory, run this:
sh ./anonymise.sh
It will execute with the following message: http://pastebin.com/JCSc1UPt
Then Start the services:
sudo service openmrs start sudo service bahmni-lab start sudo service openerp start
