I need to send a complaint file to an external safety committee this afternoon but must hide patient identifiers. The file mixes scanned pages and typed reports and I'm worried metadata could expose identities. Diagnose whether redaction or retyped summaries are safer under time pressure, tell me exactly which identifiers to remove, and give step-by-step actions I can complete in the next two hours to produce a safe, shareable file.
