Explanation:

The medical record is a document prepared by the professional and is a fundamental tool for their work. It contains, in an organized and concise manner, all data related to the patient, such as family history, history, description and evolution of symptoms and examinations, as well as indications of treatments and prescriptions. There may be cases where the disidentification of patient information in medical records is required. One way to allow this disidentification is through the Safe Harbor method which requires 18 types of identifiers for the patient and their relatives, employers or family members to be removed.
