Age vs Guard

[schowdary55]

What happened?

Attached a module that I created. The scenario is:

1. Patient age should be greater than 45 years.
2. Then he should be subjected to Colonoscopy.
3. In 50% of cases, he is referred to FIT test.

This is the only module I kept in src/main/resources/modules (I dont want data to be generated for all the pre-existing modules)

But I dont see patient data with colonoscopy details when used this command: ./run_synthea -g M -a 45-70

Should I add a delay instead of Age guard here? If so, why doesn't age work here?

Also, how can I add a check that the FIT test happens within last 5 years? I added a check year guard of > 2020. But I dont want to hardcode the year.

The Procedure states (in fact, all states that generate clinical activity) need to be within an Encounter and EncounterEnd. For example:

Also, the second Guard named "Check Year" will keep patients in an never-ending encounter until the year 2021... You probably want to try and use a different transition type, for example a Complex transition...

Finally, regarding this statement:

This is the only module I kept in src/main/resources/modules (I dont want data to be generated for all the pre-existing modules)

This can have undefined behavior and unintended consequences, so I'm not going to debug this.

So, there is no condition which can do this: Year > Last 5 Years?

No. You can check for PriorState within a time limit, such as 5 years. But that is within 5 years of the patient's history, when they are at that state. It is not within 5 years of the computer system time.
