Setting up one account for a bunch of different users with the settings I want but that does not share what was searched

So I work for a Medical records company and we have all our users use Firefox for HIPPA reasons. We want to set up a Firefox Sync account that all new users will use, so that when a new user downloads firefox they can sync with this account and it will set all the settings that our software needs. The catch is that I know that if I set up one Firefox account and set those settings it also connects history and browsing data between anyone that is also signed in to that Firefox synced account. We do not want all these different doctors offices seeing all the web history and searches from other clinics. Does that make sense?
