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.

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.

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

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
Agreed. Such an action would at least have to have approval of a local
HIPAA board.
How would one "prove" it is reliable at removing protected information?
If it is
an algorithm, the algorithm would need local approval.

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
right to determine who has access to anything that the patient might
consider sensitive. And only

1. How good does it have to be? Is 5% leakage of "sensitive information" OK?
2. Another view: ALL of the information is "sensitive".
3. Another view: The patient MUST have input as to who can see what.
