You may encrypt patients info by 'turning ON' special key in settings file.
This feature is available from v2.1.0
1. To do this simply go to include/settings.inc.php and define PATIENTS_ENCRYPTION to be true:
2. Make sure the "first_name" and "last_name" fields in table patients have COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci:
After you 'turn ON' this key, a major patient's info will be encrypted.
We recommend you to make this operation before installation, if you need it, otherwise you will need to re-enter data of previously patients added patients.
