Electronic Health Record (EHR) Data Processing and Analysis Tool

Description

The 'EHR' package provides modules to perform diverse medication-related studies using data from EHR databases.

Details

Package functionality:

  • Process and analyze Electronic Health Record (EHR) data.

  • Implement modules to perform diverse medication-related studies using data from EHR databases. Especially, the package includes modules to perform pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analyses using EHRs, as outlined in Choi et al. (2020).

  • Implement three statistical methods for Phenome Wide Association Study (PheWAS). Contingency tables for many binary outcomes (e.g., phenotypes) and a binary covariate (e.g., drug exposure) can be efficiently generated by zeroOneTable, and three commonly used statistical methods to analyze data for PheWAS are implement by analysisPheWAS.
