Exact dates and exact hospitals should also not be included. Doctors do not manually write their hospital location and the date in each of their notes (instead these are fields added by software like Epic) so this should be easy to just not export those fields. There will also be some risk that someone has a very unique combination of visits or treatments that does make them identifiable but that should be an incredibly low percentage and we need to weigh the pros/cons. I can also get a good idea of who has cancer by sitting on a bench outside a cancer center and watching who goes in.
