This Node.js script exports a directory of FHIR STU3 patient health records generated by Synthea into CSV format, suitable for import into data visualization tools, such as MapD Immerse. It was written to explore options for visualing large sets of synthetic patient medical records.
This script writes to stdout. To save, redirect stdout into a file.
npm install
node index.js /path/to/fhir/json/directory/ > out.csv
# add -s to supress the csv header, useful to append to an existing csv
node index.js -s -- /path/to/more/fhir/files >> out.csv
For simplicity, this script only exports one line per patient, with the following columns:
var headers = [
'NAME',
'GENDER',
'BIRTHDATE',
'DEATHDATE',
'AGE',
'ALIVE',
'CITY',
'STATE',
'LATITUDE',
'LONGITUDE',
'MARITAL_STATUS',
'COMMUNICATION',
'COMMUNICATION_COUNT',
'RACE',
'ETHNICITY',
'AGE_AT_HEIGHT',
'HEIGHT',
'AGE_AT_WEIGHT',
'WEIGHT',
'CAUSE_OF_DEATH',
'CONDITION_COUNT',
'ACTIVE_CONDITION_COUNT',
'ENCOUNTER_COUNT',
'OBSERVATION_COUNT',
