Usability demos

• There are 3 duplicate demos that contain 1 patient (Ed Smith with one encounter) with one lab option (PSA) and with ICD10 code set installed and one provider (the admin user with name of Frank Johnson). Demos can be reset after the test is complete. Demos also reset daily at around 1:00 am pacific time. When demos reset, they are build on top of most recent codebase. Demos use private credentials (ie. public will not be able to access them).
