In my experience with health data, the dates are usually offset by a random but constant amount for each person (e.g. id 12345 will have all their dates shifted by +5 weeks) to avoid identification by dates.

Unfortunately the sequence of treatments and locations are usually enough to identify someone, especially if it's a rarer condition.
