What would be the point in even requiring the physician to maintain separate records and turning those records over if the personal information is redacted?

Are they covering their butts on HIPAA by doing this? Take out the patient/caregiver name but leave the medical information so they can scrutinize how the physician is determining if medical marijuana may help a patient.
