PDF SDK for Healthcare Document Processing

Process patient forms, medical records, and clinical documents with HIPAA-compliant redaction. True PHI removal that passes compliance audits.

Healthcare Document Challenges

PHI must be permanently removed - not just covered with boxes

Patient forms need dynamic data population

Medical records have complex multi-column layouts

Audit trails required for all document modifications

Use Cases

PHI Redaction

Permanently remove patient identifiers from medical records with pattern-based selection.

const record = await PDFDancer.open('patient_record.pdf');
// Redact SSN, DOB, MRN
await record.allPages().selectTextLinesMatching(/SSN:\s*\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}/)
  .forEach(line => line.redact('[REDACTED]'));
await record.allPages().selectTextLinesMatching(/DOB:\s*\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}/)
  .forEach(line => line.redact('[REDACTED]'));

Patient Intake Forms

Populate patient intake forms with data from EHR systems.

const form = await PDFDancer.open('intake_form.pdf');
await form.page(1).replaceText('{{PATIENT_NAME}}', patient.name);
await form.page(1).replaceText('{{DOB}}', patient.dateOfBirth);
await form.page(1).replaceText('{{INSURANCE_ID}}', patient.insuranceId);

Clinical Report Generation

Generate clinical reports from templates with lab values and diagnostic information.

const report = await PDFDancer.open('lab_report_template.pdf');
for (const [marker, value] of Object.entries(labResults)) {
  await report.replaceText(`{{${marker}}}`, value.toString());
}
