Description

This literature seminar is designed for master-level students interested in the cutting edge of research based on Electronic Health Records (EHR). Given the growing digitization in hospitals (including those in Germany), there is a strong interest in the secondary application of EHR in clinical diagnosis and prediction tools, at both patient and population levels. With that starting point of this course, students will delve into the most current topics surrounding EHRs, including interoperability, data quality, patient phenotyping, and downstream application through clinical prediction models, including their development, evaluation, validation, and interpretation.

The course consists mainly of student presentations of recent, pre-selected publications from the field, followed by in-depth discussions.

For a first impression of possible publications, see below:

• Transforming Estonian health data to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model: lessons learned
• Scalable and interpretable alternative to chart review for phenotype evaluation using standardized structured data from electronic health records
• Leveraging electronic health records and knowledge networks for Alzheimer’s disease prediction and sex-specific biological insights

 

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding the fundamental principles of EHR
• Learning to identify open challenges and current topics in EHR research
• Learning to effectively communicate complex scientific topics in this field and lead a discussion
• Improving presentation and writing skills in English

Requirements

You should have an interest in medical informatics and a good knowledge of English (at least high school level). Presentations and discussions in this seminar will take place in English. In order to successfully achieve our project objectives, a high level of motivation and a time commitment appropriate for a 3 ECTS course will be required.
