Create a Canadian specific resourse

[Yashkaran-3004]

Hi,
I am trying to use synthea and synthea-international to create Canadian specific data. However, even with those few small things like SSN -> SIN and cost are still in US format. Is there a way to change that in the source code?
Also, how can I add more information in the data , for example -> I want to add medication statement to my data

Yes, you can change that in the source code. Assuming you are using the default exporters, do a find on "SSN" and "USD" within https://github.com/synthetichealth/synthea/blob/master/src/main/java/org/mitre/synthea/export/FhirR4.java and you'll find the relevant portions of code to modify.

Of course, if you do that, it might (??) break compatibility with USCore FHIR profiles, so you'll want to disable those in synthea.properties:

exporter.fhir.use_us_core_ig = false

Thanks, it worked.
Since I am new to Synthea, I was wondering if I could use new packages like https://simplifier.net/packages/hl7.fhir.ca.baseline/1.2.0/files/2738563/~details
to add new info into the base data. I am trying to add new parameters specific for Canadian parameters and hoping to have data like medication report and specific observation, vitals.

If it is possible, could please guide me how to do that.
Appreciate the help.
Thanks

If you want to add more clinical data (e.g., FHIR MedicationRequest or Observation), you'll need to create new modules, or edit existing modules to add those Clinical States to the simulation.
