My apologies, this mail was supposed to go to the RHIE list, and not here. I guess this is why it’s never a good idea to send emails just before you go to sleep. For the RHIE specific conversation, I will re-post it to the correct list. But do feel free to continue the SHR specific conversation here

How about ‘voiding’ the entries rather than retiring?
I support the idea of never deleting data from a production database, and luckily OpenMRS has these features so that deleting should never have to be an option.

Sure, it is still relevant, I was just giving added context.

Thanks Ryan.
I think for the questions around deleting after retiring they would still stand. And I would suggest we think about the features I’ve highlighted for the future versions of the SHR too.
Cheers

Hi all,
Just to add some more information. Suranga, is talking specifically about the Rwandan HIE here and the OpenMRS-based SHR that is currently running in production there.
Cheers,
Ryan

Hi everyone,
I know that I’ve been discussing this task for the past fortnight, but I would like to raise it one last time, mostly due to the significance of what i’m trying to do.
We’ve come up with queries to identify test data in the SHR, and are in a position to delete them. But my worry is that while deleting this stuff is easy, it’s not quite as easy to bring them back, meaning that if we do something wrong on the production database, it will not be easy to repair.
An alternative I discussed with Ryan is the possibility of retiring test data instead of simply deleting them. If retired, restoring them would be far more a simple task.
Retiring test data also satisfies our immediate requirement, which is to be able to accurately measure valid patient data in the production database.
As i’m writing this, I’ve got my finger on the button which, if pressed, will delete the test data from our system. Shall I press it, or shall we just retire them,thereby preventing the possibility of any future errors ?
Best regards,
Suranga
