Source Electronic Patient Journey System (ePJS) record input and CRIS output. Note that in this example we are using the dictionary from Table 2. “Jie” and “Mary” have not been masked because of being a typographical error and un-entered PI, respectively. All details in this record are fictitious: any resemblance to real persons is entirely coincidental. Also note that there are no legal requirements to de-identify names of clinical staff such as “Terry Scott”, the fictitious assistant psychologist, whose name therefore appears in full in the CRIS record.
