Medication Management Note Redaction with anonym.plus

Healthcare Solution · Behavioral & Mental Health · HIPAA Safe Harbor (45 CFR §164.514(b))

Med-note redaction is the removal of all 18 HIPAA Safe Harbor IDs (45 CFR §164.514(b)) from a prescriber's notes. anonym.plus does it on your device. The dosing detail stays; the patient is no longer named.

2. Local OCR reads any scanned page.
3. It flags names, dates, and the pharmacy.
4. Review each flag and keep the dosing lines.

6. Save the clean note. The source stays local.
