First a sincere thanks to all those involved in this project, especially jodogne.

I cant seem to find the method used to create the anonymised patient id. Does it use any of the source data or is it a random collection of 4o chars?

Many thanks
Gary

Hello,

The “Patient ID” tag is replaced by a random UUID during anonymization:
