changing demographics #912

Open vbchinnam opened 3 years ago

vbchinnam commented 3 years ago

If I am changing the demographics to another country , do i have to also change the payer data? it is clear from the wiki that it is required to change the providers data. however I can see that "Currently the provider files in use are hospitals, veterans, primarycare, and urgentcare". from wiki. so is it necessary to change the demographics data in the other provider files, other than hospitals, veterans, primarycare, and urgentcare files?

Appreciate your time

Hi I have modified demographics file, timezone , zipcodes in geography folder and hospitals, veterans, primarycare and urgentcare files in provider folder. and also insurance companies in the payer folder.

Is there anything else should be modified to generate data with other demographics. after modifying them the build is failing and throwing following exception. please help me to solve the following error. image

Hi @vbchinnam, I have been trying to change names and locations. Here's a worked example using names from the periodic table (in 6 languages) and one location. Hope it helps to troubleshoot.
