[Corpora-List] Anonymization tools for patient record research methods

[Eric Atwell]

We are investigating research methods for patient records.
To be available for Corpus Linguistics analysis, patient records
have to be anonymised, so individual patients cannot be identified. 
Can anyone point us at tools to (semi-)automate anonymization or
deidentification of health text data (or any other text data)?

I managed to find "deid" in Physionet

of Free-Text Medical Records. British Medical Council: Medical Informatics 
and Decision Making, 2008, 8:32.

and a survey:

thanks forany other recommendations
