**Tools for Health Data Anonymization** is an open-source project that helps anonymize healthcare data, on-premises or in the cloud, for secondary usage such as research, public health, and more. The project first released the anonymization of [FHIR](https://www.hl7.org/fhir/) data to open source on Friday, March 6th, 2020. Currently, it supports both **FHIR data anonymization** and **DICOM data anonymization**.

* For information on FHIR data anonymization, please check out the [FHIR anonymization documentation](docs/FHIR-anonymization.md).
* For information on DICOM data anonymization, please check out the [DICOM anonymization documentation](docs/DICOM-anonymization.md).

The anonymization core engine uses a configuration file specifying different parameters as well as anonymization methods for different data-elements and datatypes. The repo contains a sample configuration file, which is based on the [HIPAA Safe Harbor](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/special-topics/de-identification/index.html#safeharborguidance) method. You can modify or create your own configuration file as needed.

This open source project is fully backed by the Microsoft Healthcare team, but we know that this project will only get better with your feedback and contributions. We are leading the development of this code base, and test builds and deployments daily.
