Requested Feature

Synthea should add features to remove data from output and supply a data-absent-reason.

Potential use cases:

  • Creating faux anonymized data sets by omitting things like first and last names but supplying a data absent reason of masked
  • Simulating errors in the system
  • Simulating patient refusal to answer questions
  • Simulating patients not knowing the answer to questions
