[Gnumed-devel] Establishing additional "stock" patients into the bootstrap e.g. for lab data

[James Busser]

Hi all

Presently in the data bootstrap I am aware only of Kirk, who  
demonstrates the following:

- multiple names by which he is known
- past history items (?)
- active problems
- clinical (SOAP) notes
- lab test results though these do not yet show in the GUI

While anyone using the any-doc id is free to add or edit to the  
public database, creation of a new bootstrap from that database has  
obvious disadvantages with respect to undesirable alteration of data  
that may have been set up to demonstrate something, as well as the  
inclusion of clutter or other records that serves no purpose to  
include in a bootstrap.

So my questions are:

1. Other than Kirk, does the bootstrap contain any other patients and  
have they been created in order to illustrate or to support any  
functionality of which we may like people to be aware? I could add  
this to the documentation.

2. How do we best contribute patients, or other data, to the  
bootstrap? I am thinking that for the purposes of supporting and  
letting people try a lab test importer, it would be nice to provide  
patients for example "LABTESTS^BPATIENT", "LABTESTS^GPATIENT" who  
could be rigged so that the BC importer would successfully match  
some, but not others, and would support the demonstration of how  
matched data gets signed, or reassigned, and how unmatched data gets  
reconciled.
