@John Moehrke and I were talking about this, and I figured I'd share it in case it's useful to anyone. These are the functions I used to generate the sample data in Epic's MeasureReports for the track.
initialize(beds,bedsInUse,icuBeds,icuBedsInUse,vents,ventsInUse) ;
s beds=$random(400)+$random(100)+50
s icuBeds=$$randPercent(beds,2,12)
s vents=$$randPercent(icuBeds,0,80)
;
s bedsInUse=$$randPercent(beds,45,95)
s icuBedsInUse=$$randPercent(icuBeds,25,100)
s ventsInUse=$$randPercent(vents,30,100)
q
nextDay(beds,bedsInUse,icuBeds,icuBedsInUse,vents,ventsInUse) ;
n bedChange,icuChange,ventChange
s bedChange=$$randPercent(beds,-15,15)
s icuChange=$$randPercent(bedChange,0,80)
s ventChange=$$randPercent(icuChange,0,100)
;
s bedsInUse=bedsInUse+bedChange
i bedsInUse<0 s bedsInUse=0
i bedsInUse>beds s bedsInUse=beds
;
s icuBedsInUse=icuBedsInUse+icuChange
i icuBedsInUse<0 s icuBedsInUse=0
i icuBedsInUse>icuBeds s icuBedsInUse=icuBeds
i icuBedsInUse>bedsInUse s icuBedsInUse=bedsInUse
;
s ventsInUse=ventsInUse+ventChange
i ventsInUse<0 s ventsInUse=0
i ventsInUse>vents s ventsInUse=vents
q```

This seems like something useful to capture in the test plan. My thinking is that it is human readable enough for people to get a feel for how to create test data. What do others think?
