Abstract:
Electronic health records (EHR) are an invaluable research resource for studying the aetiology and prognosis of individual diseases. Working with EHR, however, is challenging due to their complex and messy nature. This talk will focus on the opportunities and challenges in the process of creating and evaluating EHR phenotyping algorithms and explore different ways of scaling analyses in terms of breadth and depth.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the characteristics of structured EHR and provide research use cases.
2. Understand methods that work across the human phenome such as phenome wide association studies (PHEWAS).
3. Describe key concepts of phenotyping algorithm creation and evaluation.
