Title: Using electronic health records for healthcare research: Potentials and Pitfalls
Please note that this event is not filmed nor streamed – only participation in person.
Abstract
Routinely collected healthcare data is becoming more commonly used for healthcare research. The increasing availability of such data promises advantages in the shape of largescale, representative data, but also brings many challenges which require statistical innovation. I will highlight some of these promises and challenges using four examples illustrating the use of routinely collected data, including modelling lung function trajectories of cystic fibrosis patients, dynamic prediction of cardiovascular disease, multi-state modelling of multimorbidity and predicting outcomes for intensive care patients.
About the speaker
Dr Jessica Barrett is Principal Research Associate at the Medical Research Council Biostatistics Unit, University of Cambridge, UK. Dr Barrett’s research centers on developing statistical methodology for modelling complex multi-outcome data, particularly the statistical challenges of using electronic health records for prediction modelling. Her research is motivated by clinical applications including cystic fibrosis, cardiovascular disease and multimorbidity.
