Persuasive with Mod add section to secuity&privacy module page "Using FHIR to publish test data" There are times when test data is needed. Test data are data that is not associated with any real patient. Test data are usually representative of expected data that is published for the purpose of testing. Test data may be fully fabricated, or derived from use-cases that had previously caused failures. When test data are published it may be important to identify the data as test data. This identification may be to assure that the test data is not misunderstood as real data, and that the test data is not factored into statistics or reporting. However there is a risk that identifying test data may inappropriately thward the intended test that the data are published to test. Test data could be isolated in a server specific to test data. Test data could be intermingled with real-patient data using one or both of the followingmethods: Security-label – All test data Resouces could be tagged with PurposeOfUse HTEST Test Patient – The Patient that the data is associated with could be a clear indication of a test patient. (For example, in the USA the SSN starting with "666-" will never be issued so is commonly used as an indicator of a test patient) Note there is a risk when comingling test data with real patient data that someone will accidently use test data without realizing it is test data.
