With the tools we now have (h2 DB, testing DB builder), does it really make sense to put test data in a production server? It's certainly not best practice.

The planned design is to allow for a saved cohort definition to represent the cohort of test patients (this allows for test patients to be defined as a given implementation wants). Then, the reporting module would exclude these patients from any query / report that it produces. That being said, I wouldn't be at all opposed to some sort of "test" column on the person table...

While I can imagine a module trying to make test patients behave as if they're voided, we should probably make this a core feature (marking persons/patients as test). As Ada points out, a person attribute can serve very well as a way of tagging test patients for exclusion from reports. -Burke On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 9:13 PM, Yeung, Ada K. <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: AMPATH creates a person_attribute_type of test patient. Whenever we create new test patients, we tick the test patient person_attribute_type on the dashboard. When it’s time to generate reports or prepare datasets for research studies, we can exclude those test patients easily. -ada From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Joaquín Blaya Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 6:16 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [OPENMRS-IMPLEMENTERS] Labeling patients as test in a production instance of OpenMRS Hi, Is there a way to have test patients in a production version of OpenMRS that allows them not to be counted in statistics e.g. some kind of label? The idea is that in a production server you can have a handful of test patients and a test form so that when people start to learn it they can use those.
