Patient Gender Specification #56

Open NickKramer87 opened 1 year ago

NickKramer87 commented 1 year ago

As a medical data analyst, I want the synthetic database I am given to have an appropriate number of male and female patients for the issue I am studying.

Proposed Subtasks:

  1. Synthea currently creates patient data based on live patients, including those still in the hospital. This needs to be changed to be based on hospital discharges instead. That will allow accurate gender identification.

Acceptance Criteria:

  1. Database output specifies gender of patient and only includes patients that have been discharged.

While it is trivial to specify the number of male/female persons to simulate, a cursory look at the provided synthea settings show that it is non-trivial to specify the desired outcome number of patients.
