Test data

Sometimes we need to send patients to test the system.

To facilitate the identification and deletion of test patients from our various data repositories during data processing,

• always start patient first and last name with an "X"
• use a serial number < 10
• use "888 or 999" as the batch number
• use location: HSC_TEST or TEST-Trish or HSC_A4
  • I don't see TEST_Trish as a location anymore.........
    • I have some vague recollection of it being removed because some checks were not working right when it was used. Ttenbergen 10:58, 29 January 2010 (CST)
  • We need a test location for ICU as well, some tests are program dependent. Ttenbergen 17:26, 28 January 2010 (CST) Template:Discussion
    • HSC_MICU
    • I will have to check what exactly HSC_TEST spits out. ICU or Medicine tests. --TOstryzniuk 19:03, 28 January 2010 (CST)

If you have sent test data, either clean it out or let Pagasa know it is there.

• Trish, could you or Pagasa put a list here of the locations that would need to be cleaned? I should know but I always forget and would have to step through the program to find out, and it's one of the reasons I often leave this to Pagasa instead.

  • sorry.....what do you mean by locations that are cleaned?--TOstryzniuk 19:03, 28 January 2010 (CST)
    • I mean where exactly data would need to be removed from after sending it as a test. Ttenbergen 10:58, 29 January 2010 (CST)
