Defines functions load_rfv

Documented in load_rfv

#' @title Loads reason for visit data into R.
#' @export
#'
#' @description Loads reason for visit information into the R environment.
#'
#' @param file string, full file path to Rfv.txt.
#' @param merge_id string, column name to use to create \emph{ID_MERGE} column used to merge different datasets. Defaults to \emph{EPIC_PMRN},
#' as it is the preferred MRN in the RPDR system.
#' @param sep string, divider between hospital ID and MRN. Defaults to \emph{:}.
#' @param id_length string, indicating whether to modify MRN length based-on required values \emph{id_length = standard}, or to keep lengths as is \emph{id_length = asis}.
#' If \emph{id_length = standard} then in case of \emph{MGH, BWH, MCL, EMPI and PMRN} the length of the MRNs are corrected accordingly by adding zeros, or removing numeral from the beginning.
#' In other cases the lengths are unchanged. Defaults to \emph{standard}.
#' @param perc numeric, a number between 0-1 indicating which parsed ID columns to keep. Data present in \emph{perc x 100\%} of patients are kept.
#' @param na boolean, whether to remove columns with only NA values. Defaults to \emph{TRUE}.
#' @param identical boolean, whether to remove columns with identical values. Defaults to \emph{TRUE}.
#' @param nThread integer, number of threads to use to load data.
#' @param mrn_type boolean, should data in \emph{MRN_Type} and \emph{MRN} be parsed. Defaults to \emph{FALSE}, as it is not advised to parse these for all data sources as it takes considerable time.
#'
#' @return data table, with reason for visit information.
#' \describe{
#'  \item{ID_MERGE}{numeric, defined IDs by \emph{merge_id}, used for merging later.}
#'  \item{ID_rfv_EMPI}{string, Unique Partners-wide identifier assigned to the patient used to consolidate patient information
#'  from \emph{dia} datasource, corresponds to EMPI in RPDR. Data is formatted using pretty_mrn().}
#'  \item{ID_rfv_PMRN}{string, Epic medical record number. This value is unique across Epic instances within the Partners network
#'  from \emph{rfv} datasource, corresponds to EPIC_PMRN in RPDR. Data is formatted using pretty_mrn().}
#'  \item{ID_rfv_loc}{string, if mrn_type == TRUE, then the data in \emph{MRN_Type} and \emph{MRN} are parsed into IDs corresponding to locations \emph{(loc)}. Data is formatted using pretty_mrn().}
#'  \item{time_rfv_start}{POSIXct, Start date of the encounter, corresponds to Start_Date in RPDR. Converted to POSIXct format.}
#'  \item{time_rfv_end}{POSIXct, End date of the encounter, corresponds to End_Date in RPDR. Converted to POSIXct format.}
#'  \item{rfv_provider}{string, Primary provider for the encounter, corresponds to Provider in RPDR.}
#'  \item{rfv_hosp}{string, Facility where the encounter occurred, corresponds to Hospital in RPDR.}
#'  \item{rfv_clinic}{string, Specific department/location where the patient encounter took place, corresponds to Clinic in RPDR.}
#'  \item{rfv_chief_complaint}{string, Description of the chief complaint/reason for visit, corresponds to Chief_Complaint in RPDR.}
#'  \item{rfv_concept_id}{string, Epic identifier for the chief complaint/reason for visit, corresponds to Concept_id in RPDR.}
#'  \item{rfv_comment}{string, Free-text comments regarding the chief complain/reason for visit, corresponds to Comments in RPDR.}
#'  \item{rfv_enc_numb}{string, Unique identifier of the record/visit. This values includes the source system, hospital, and a unique identifier within the source system, corresponds to Encounter_number in RPDR.}
