Extracting a portion of data may comprise parsing the data or may comprise reading a structured form. Further, comparing the portion of data with a predetermined sequence may comprise comparing the portion of data with a predetermined format. Alternatively, comparing the portion of data the portion of data with a predetermined sequence in a database and determining whether the portion of data comprises patient information may comprise using rules (such as an expert system) to specify a sequence of characters that includes patient information. Moreover, modifying the portion of data if it comprises patient information may comprise manual or automatic modification.
