How to Anonymize a patient file for sharing

To make a patient file anonymous for sharing, select the Anonymize for sharing option in the Sharing options box on the Share Patient dialog.

Note

     The patient file is only anonymous for collaborators. All details are still visible for the treating clinician.

     Images in the Patient Library of a shared anonymous patient file will be shown as plain tiles on the collaborator's computer as a sign that images are included, but that they have been made anonymous.
