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.........
    • 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.
