Abstract
Electronic health records (EHR) data present many complexities not seen in more traditional chart-review based observational studies. Even when the study cohort has been conceptually defined by inclusion and exclusion criteria, operationalizing this definition can be challenging. We will discuss working with coding systems, separating new diagnoses versus ongoing conditions, and accounting for the event-driven nature of the data. The process of obtaining data from a de-identified cohort through TrinetX and Honest Broker will also be demonstrated.
