This is a bit open ended - sort of a catch-all project. However, there are only a few remaining fully blank fields so lets leave this. Once we add the last few (like external causes of morbidity) we will create a new task to track the fields that need additional work or have important caveats for analysis.
Remaining fully missing fields are:
"external causes of morbidity" and POAs for them. I have not found any reference to this information within the synthea outputs or settings or documentation
Type of Coverage and also Plan Code Number Appears to be fairly California specific and not really contemplated under the synthea claims data. covered in a separate task (#68)
Preferred Language Spoken (possible) Synthea seems to give us some information for English or not English within the observations.csv so we can at least try to use that at first - @TravisHaussler can implement this at least for now
Homelessness Indicator covered in a separate task (#70)
@TravisHaussler and @NickKramer87 - Re: "external causes of morbidity", the analytics team does not regularly use these fields. Also, Medicare's synthetic files leave these fields blank (source pg 29). I think we're good to leave these blank and consider that done.
Excellent!

Per thread above, remaining issues are resolved and/or captured in new issues.
As a data analyst, I need the synthetic database to contain all relevant fields so that I can ensure that the software that I will write to perform the analysis will work on the real-world data.
