LLMs spit out plausible medical codes that secretly wreck your Synthea simulations. Here's the dead-simple workflow—and Claude skill—that validates every one before it poisons your data.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- LLMs hallucinate medical codes that look real but corrupt FHIR—fix with tx.fhir.org validation curls.
- Claude Code skill automates full Synthea module creation: research, code lookup, build, test.
- Synthea's limits (no comorbidities, over-diagnosed elders) demand custom modules for serious use.
