The script uses a set of 10 heuristic filters that attempt to eliminate patients who are sick or abnormal or who might no longer be receiving care at your hospital. It returns only the aggregate counts of the number of patients who pass each heuristic filter and gives the demographic breakdowns of the patients identified as healthy and normal. When run at Partners Healthcare in Boston, only about 1.5% of approximately 2 million patients were identified as healthy and normal.
Is the number of healthy normal patients at Partners Healthcare normal, or does this vary by the type of hospital and patient population? I need YOUR help to answer this question.

It returns only the aggregate counts of the number of patients who pass each heuristic filter and the demographic breakdowns of the patients identified as healthy and normal.)
