In amarshall1/prescribeR: Quantify Exposure Based On Routine Prescribing Data

#' Example prescribing records for 100 patients
#'
#' A dataset containing synthetic prescribing records for 100 patients, modelled
#' on a subset of the structure of Scottish Prescribing Information System (PIS)
#' data. Each row represents an individual prescription for a drug on a given
#' date, and contains a patient identifier, the date of the prescription, the
#' approved name and British National Formulary categories for the drug, the
#' quantity and strength dispensed and the number of Defined Daily Doses
#' dispensed.
