Identity is verified (via NPPES), then discarded. Reviews are aggregated before display — never surfaced per-reviewer. How anonymity works.
Discussion
Verified clinicians can discuss a specific review, annotate a data card, or contextualize facility-level numbers. Within a thread, each participant has a deterministic pseudonym derived from a one-way hash of (thread, anonymous token) — conversations cohere, but the same clinician has a different pseudonym in a different thread so their participation is not tied together publicly. How discussions protect you.
