Remove, mask, or replace PHI/PII in clinical free text on-device with OpenMed's deidentify(). Use when the user needs to de-identify medical notes, strip patient identifiers, redact PHI before sharing or analysis, anonymize discharge summaries, or pick a de-id method (mask vs remove vs replace vs hash vs shift_dates). Covers confidence_threshold for safety, consistent+seed for stable surrogates, keep_mapping for reversible de-id, policy= profiles, and the DeidentificationResult fields. Pairs…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# De-identifying clinical text
`openmed.deidentify` detects PHI/PII and rewrites the text so it can be shared,
stored, or analyzed without exposing patients. It runs **fully on-device** after
a one-time model download — no network calls, no telemetry, no raw PHI leaving
the process. This is the single most important OpenMed entry point for privacy
work; everything else (policies, audit, multilingual, date-shifting) layers on
top of it.
## When to use this skill
Reach for `deidentify` when you need to transform text — replace, mask, remove,
hash, or date-shift the identifiers. If you only need to **locate** PHI spans
without changing the text, use `extract_pii` (see `extracting-pii-entities`). To
**restore** masked text later, use `reidentify` (see `reidentifying-text`).
## Quick start
```python
import openmed
note = (
"Patient John Doe (MRN 1234567) was seen on 2024-03-02 by Dr. Alice Reed. "
"Contact: john.doe@example.com, 617-555-0142."
)
result = openmed.deidentify(
note,
method="mask", # mask | remove | replace | hash | shift_dates
confidence_threshold=0.7, # safety default; raise to reduce false negatives' impact

How to install
mdr add maziyarpanahi/openmed/deidentifying-clinical-text@sha256:b879d35aecb44100The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
