Electronic Medical Records Boot Camp: Biostatistical methods for analyzing EMR data
The Electronic Medical Records Boot Camp is a two-day intensive boot camp of seminars and hands-on analytical sessions to provide an overview of electronic health data opportunities, statistical challenges, and latest techniques.
This two-day intensive workshop will go over opportunities and potentials of EMR/EHR for health and medical studies, statistical challenges and pitfalls for analyzing EMR/EHR, and the latest developments of multiple techniques to address those challenges, followed by hands-on computer lab sessions and case studies to put concepts into practice.
By the end of the electronic medical records training, participants will be familiar with the following topics:
-
Power and potentials of EMR/EHR data

Open-access datasets across the world
-
Preparation, transformation and integration of EMR/EHR
