Electronic health records (EHRs) have become commonplace in the
medical profession. Health data are readily captured and permanently
stored in a digital fashion, and consequently, are increasingly being
utilized in health research. The quality of this research depends upon
the investigator’s ability to obtain the correct data to answer the
correct question. It is easy to churn out poor quality research from
the EHR; it is much harder to produce meaningful results that
influence the population’s health. Improving Population Health Using
Electronic Health Records takes the reader through the process of
conducting meaningful research from data in the EHR. It de-mystifies
the entire research process, from how to ask the right kind of
research questions, to obtaining data with particular emphasis on data
management and manipulation, to performing a valid statistical
analyses, and interpreting and presenting the results in a clear,
concise fashion that has the potential to improve population health.
This book can be used as a hands-on how-to guide of performing
research from EHR data in either a piece-meal fashion, selecting only
the topics of greatest interest, or a complete guide to the entire
research process. Readers will benefit from the intuitive presentation
of complex methods with a multitude of examples. It is invaluable
reading for researchers and clinicians who are not otherwise familiar
with the complexities of working with large data sets.
