RE: [HAPI-devel] help on HAPI...

[Tripp, B. <Bry...@uh...>]

Hi Vinod, 

If you're using different dummy values for each message, you probably have
to parse each message (using PipeParser.parse()), then on the resulting
Message object go through the list of fields you want to scrub, using
getData() and setData() on each Primitive as needed, and then encode the
result (using PipeParser.encode()).  

It may still be possible to identify the patient through remaining fields,
if the case is unique or the message contains some free text (for example a
report where the author mentions the patient's name).  I guess you could use
dummy reports as well. 

Regards, 
Bryan
