    Description

    The aim of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of developing and validating of a claims-based health outcome interest (HOI) algorithm using machine learning classification techniques applied to a linked claims-electronic medical records (EMR) database. This project has the potential to improve the electronic phenotype development and validation process for outcomes that can be detected via standardized information in an EMR to accelerate validation of claims-based signatures.
