Where Do We Use Real Health Information?
• Clinicians who are treating their patients need real information
•
Every patient’s health information should be quickly retrievable by
anyone authorized to be involved in that patient’s care (especially if
the patient is unconscious or unable to do so themselves)
• Researchers who are attempting to “discover” something new
need real information but they keep it “behind closed doors” to
prevent unauthorized disclosure
• Systems that integrate electronic medical record systems so
that health information can be quickly shared through
interoperable statewide and national networks need real
information
• But not the people who develop them or operate them

Why Use Synthetic Health Information?
•
•
•
•
Some types of data that we share statewide involve millions of “messages”
per week just in Michigan
• Significant risk of unintentional disclosure of real health information
Testing system interoperability with real health data is high risk due to
possible disclosure of information protected by federal laws on privacy
• Especially for information about behavioral health, certain diseases, or
substance use
• Real health data cannot easily be fully “de-identified”
• Good, realistic test data is practically never available in healthcare today
Major risk is wrong people seeing someone’s protected health information
• Software developers, systems integrators & testers need to view test
data to do their jobs
• Test data could be sent to the wrong recipient(s) in high volumes
Risks are much higher during development and testing than any other time
• Dozens of new use cases are waiting to be developed and tested

PatientGen – The Goal…
• Advance ability to automatically create large quantities of
realistic health data that is not protected or private
• Accelerate efforts to deploy interoperable healthcare systems
using realistic data for development, testing, and successful
deployment of data sharing “use cases”
• Provide general purpose ability to create a wide variety of
“safe” test data for use cases ranging from:
• Public health reporting (e.g. immunizations, syndromics,
reportable labs, cancer/birth defect/death notifications)
• Transitions of care (admission-discharge-transfers,
medication reconciliations)
• Clinical quality measures (CQMs)
• Accelerate the transformation from volume-based to qualitybased healthcare delivery and payment.

MiHIN Patient Generator:
Works Kind of Like a Music Synthesizer
•
•
•
•
Ability to adjust settings to vary patient populations and outcomes:
• Population demographics (age, gender, race, religion)
• Population names, addresses & contact information
• Synthetic medical systems (providers, practices, hospitals, specialty
organizations)
• Population risk factors (smoking, alcohol, diet, exercise, …)
• Population body signs (BP, Lipids , BMI, Pregnancy, …)
• Morbidity models (diabetes, heart disease, pregnancy, STDs, …)
Can save/share/adjust reusable “patient population” decks
• Urban low income (high childhood obesity), rural, tribal nation,
retired/geriatric
Simulation generates many useful kinds of healthcare data
All healthcare data is synthesized, so no PHI

Real Patients Have Body Systems
•
•
Systems & Organs get sick
• Sometimes they get well on their own
• Sometimes they don’t, that’s why we
have doctors
Doctors evaluate health, treat sickness
• History and exam (symptoms, signs)
• Testing
• Diagnosis
• Prevention, treatment
• lifestyle
• Rx
• procedures
•
Thousands of real diagnoses
• Complicated dependencies
• Incomplete understanding
• Way too much to simulate in detail

•
Highly Configurable:
• Patients: Name, address, gender, age, race, religion,
telecom, PCP, practice, specialists & specialty organizations
• Providers: Name, address, gender, age, race, religion,
telecom, NUCC specialty
• Practices: Name, address, telecom, NUCC specialty
• Hospitals: Same as practices plus staff specialists
• Specialty Organizations: Same as practices
• Patient Risk Factors: Diet, exercise, alcohol, smoking, drug
use, promiscuity
Monte Carlo simulation
• Patients age, have children, get sick, get treated, get better,
but ultimately die
• Lots of realistic healthcare data is generated in the process
• More data formats are in the works
Any similarity to real individuals or organizations is purely
coincidental and is a product of random processes

Clinical Possibility Constraints
Key Elements
Description
Sequence
Episodes of care have a beginning and an end. Events occur in a specific order (e.g.
patient experiences chest pain, before diagnosed of heart attack, before angioplasty is
performed).
Activities span typical lengths of time which can be represented as a minimum and
maximum, or average duration (e.g. an angioplasty procedure takes 60-90 min).
Activities may be constrained to a specific role, via regulation or policy (e.g. diagnoses
are made by physicians, advanced practice nurses, or physician assistants).

Association
Range
Mutual Exclusivity
Likelihood of
Occurrence
Metadata
Activities and events can be associated with rules or parameters (e.g. drugs have
associated dosage ranges, etc.).
An event may not be permitted or plausible within the presence of another event.
Events are associated with an expected frequency (e.g. infants born full term have a
high chance of survival, patients admitted for a traumatic injury are unlikely to be
admitted against their will, etc.)
Activities or events may produce, or may require specific information as metadata (e.g.
patients have an associated age, gender & race).

Signs and Risks Affect Body Systems
• Body Signs
• Measurable values that have trajectories over patient lifetimes
e.g. blood pressure, HbA1c, BMI, Cholesterol …
• Signs can represent chronic conditions such as hypertension,
diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia
• Quantized & normalized using Likert scales (1-5)
• Initial values drawn from configurable prevalence data
• Risk Factors
• Patients have risk factors such as smoking, diet, alcohol use,
drug use, promiscuity
• Risks can affect the trajectories of signs & the likelihoods of
complications
• Patient risks initially drawn from configurable prevalence data
• As patients age, they acquire risks drawn from incidence data
Copyright 2014,2015 MiHIN Shared Services. MiHIN
Patient State Drives Diagnoses & Encounters
• Diagnoses (CQM measure diagnoses)
• Patient state is calculated based upon systems, risks & signs
• Incidence & prevalence likelihoods based upon published
medical studies and experience (e.g. Framingham)
• System health state changes drive diagnosis and encounters
• Most likely diagnosis can be computed from risks & signs when
not specified by organ, system or risk logic
• Quality Measures
• Sampled from most likely diagnosis measures
• Drive patient encounters via scripted CAT-I event sequences
embodying clinical knowledge
• Patient Encounters
• Produce CQM reports, ADT events & ACRS Care Teams
• Outcomes can influence signs & risks to close the feedback
loop and improve longitudinal histories
Copyright 2014,2015 MiHIN Shared Services. MiHIN
The Interactions Can Be Very Complex
•
•
•
•
•
Diet & Exercise risks influence BMI, Lipid & HbA1c signs
Alcohol, Drug & Promiscuity risks influence Pregnancy incidence
Alcohol & Diet risks influence pregnancy complication incidence
Alcohol & Promiscuity risks influence STD incidence
Smoking risk + Pregnancy, BMI, BP, Lipids & HbA1c signs influence
Neurological & Cardiovascular system morbidities & mortalities
• Eyes: diabetic retinopathy leading to blindness
• Kidneys: diabetic renal disease leading to kidney failure
• Peripheral nerves: diabetic neuropathy leading to amputations
• Heart: coronary heart disease leading to Afib & AMI
• Brain: hemorrhagic, ischemic stroke
• Circulatory: vascular disease, venous thromboembolism
• PatientGen approximates these interactions to produce more
credible, but not epidemiologically accurate patient life histories
Copyright 2014,2015 MiHIN Shared Services. MiHIN
Patient Gen Today
• 28 important conditions are modeled with credible precision
• Incidence & prevalence models are based upon published
medical studies and Internet based estimates
• All 2014 EH and EP CAT-I measure reports can be produced
• Event scripting can be specified using Cypress Bonnie tools
• Simulations can be done at multiple resolutions, from hourly
to monthly iterations (weekly is default)
• Populations are limited only by available memory
• Standard MiHIN patient and provider personas have been
coded and participate in each simulation run
• Providers are patients too: they age, retire, die and are
replaced as needed by the hospitals and practices they serve

Remaining Challenges
• Improvements in modeling of medical conditions to improve
breath of coverage and longitudinal clinical relevance
• Additional body signs and risk factors needed for longitudinal
clinical relevance
• Implementation of actual treatment outcomes to reduce
subsequent morbidity risks for effective treatment regimens
• Better integration with Bonnie for scripting
• More complete output of FHIR resources
• Additional HL-7 messages (e.g. Immunizations, Syndromics
Surveillance, Reportable Labs, Cancer, HIV)
• Implementation of symptoms to support CCD messages
• User interface development to simplify configuration and
execution
Copyright 2014,2015 MiHIN Shared Services. MiHIN
The Open Source Option Is Under Consideration
• Open Source means more hands, eyes and energy to
improve quality & advance PatientGen capabilities
across multiple fronts
• Open Source means more organizations can benefit
from simulated healthcare data
• We favor Apache-style meritocracy for organization &
team roles
• Successful open source projects require continuity of
leadership and direction
• MiHIN is seeking external funding sources to provide this
leadership
