Speaker: Dr. Robert Platt, McGill University
Administrative health care data are an important resource for research in health services, pharmacoepidemiology, and clinical medicine. This event will describe the different sources of administrative data, differentiating electronic medical record data from health care claims data, and discuss some of the statistical challenges involved in using these data. Attendees will learn core analytic skills for working with these data. Using examples from pharmacoepidemiology and a realistic simulation of a health care claims database, several key aspects of analyses of these data will be discussed.
This is a UBC School of Population and Public Health Event.
