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

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.
