Identifying Care Home Residents in Electronic Health Records - An OpenSAFELY Short Data Report

DOI

This is the code and configuration for our short data report on the identification of care home residents within OpenSAFELY-TPP. The peer reviewed paper describing our work has been published in Wellcome Open Research.

  • Raw model outputs, including crosstabs, etc, are in released_outputs/analysis/outfiles
  • If you are interested in how we defined our variables, take a look at the study definition; this is written in python, but non-programmers should be able to understand what is going on there
  • If you are interested in how we defined our code lists, look in the codelists folder.
  • Developers and epidemiologists interested in the framework should review the OpenSAFELY documentation

About the OpenSAFELY framework

The OpenSAFELY framework is a secure analytics platform for electronic health records research in the NHS.

Instead of requesting access for slices of patient data and transporting them elsewhere for analysis, the framework supports developing analytics against dummy data, and then running against the real data within the same infrastructure that the data is stored. Read more at OpenSAFELY.org.
