The ptgen project is a (partial) Go port of https://github.com/jnazarian1/Patient-Generator. This Go library generates synthetic patient records using the HL7 FHIR DSTU2 models defined in the Intervention Engine fhir project.

NOTE: Due to Intervention Engine's prominent use case, all synthetic records are tuned to a geriatric population. At this time, patient demographics, simple observations, office visits, conditions, and medications are generated.

For information on installing and running the full Intervention Engine stack, please see Building and Running the Intervention Engine Stack in a Development Environment.

The ptgen project is a Go library. For information related specifically to building the code in this repository (ptgen), please refer to the following sections in the above guide:

• (Prerequisite) Install Git
• (Prerequisite) Install Go
• Clone ptgen Repository

To build the ptgen library, you must install its dependencies via go get first, and then build it:

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/intervention-engine/ptgen
$ go get
$ go build

For information on using the generate tool to create synthetic patient records and upload them to a FHIR server, please refer to the generate section of the tools repository README.

The following is a simple example of generating the FHIR resources to represent a single synthetic patient:

import "github.com/intervention-engine/ptgen"

func ExamplePtGeneration() []interface{} {
	return ptgen.GeneratePatient()
}
