Re: [Gnumed-devel] experiments with gnumed - multiusers vnc, importing an au emr

[kittylitter]

I need to de-identify it ; options include nx server, dvd sent by mail, 
publish somewhere with 50 mb spare, 
BTW - lately I've been playing around with suspend2 in order to get 
linux to boot up quickly, and the latest suspend2 somehow disables DMA for 
disk which slows down disk access by a factor of 10. 
The solution is to compile a kernel with a built-in rather than modular 
specific ide driver for the particular chipset of the computer's motherboard, 
and use this kernel image for the initrd and kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst  , 
 and it seems gnumed is working remarkably well now. 
I can publish a howto about it in the wiki if you like.
BTW - besides the  names (of patients and doctors),  it's a good idea to remap 
the suburbs and the street numbers , and possibly the street names too . Any 
other things should be remapped to make it a good deidentification ?
The downside is that the big records get lost in the names; maybe there should
be a custom function that calculates the size of the emr record, and can be 
accessed by identity id, and this could come up in the demographic search 
window.
