Step 1
Select a supported Microsoft Word document.
Choose a document stored locally on your Windows computer.
Prepare de-identified clinical documents locally.
ScrubDummy is a Windows desktop application for creating controlled working copies of Microsoft Word clinical documents. Processing takes place on the local computer, without requiring the document to be uploaded to a web service.
Local document preparation
ScrubDummy helps organizations prepare documents for authorized review, development, testing, and other controlled workflows. Output remains available for authorized human review before use or disclosure.
ScrubDummy assists with document preparation and does not eliminate the need for authorized human review, organizational policies, or legal/compliance assessment.
Local Processing
Documents are processed by the Windows application.
Controlled Replacement
Identified values are replaced with dummy values.
Reviewable Output
The generated document remains available for authorized review.
Windows Desktop
Designed for Windows-based document workflows.
Use realistic document structure without exposing the original identifiers.
Clinical documents are often needed for testing, development, quality review, and controlled collaboration. Manually replacing repeated identifiers can be slow and inconsistent. ScrubDummy is designed to help produce a working copy in which configured identifying values are replaced while the broader structure of the document is retained.
How it works
Step 2
Run the local ScrubDummy process.
ScrubDummy processes the file on the desktop without uploading it to this website.
Step 3
Review the generated working copy.
Authorized reviewers validate output before any authorized use or disclosure.
Designed around local document handling.
This website handles download registration and software delivery only. It is not a portal for uploading clinical documents. ScrubDummy processing takes place in the desktop application on your computer.
