Analyzing Hospital Episode Statistics Dataset: How Much Does SAS Help?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) is a data set containing records of all admissions, outpatient appointments and accident and emergency (A&E) attendances at National Health Service (NHS) hospitals in England. Each year over 125 million admitted patient, outpatient and A&E records are processed. Such a large data set enables rich research opportunities for researchers and health care professionals. However, patient care data is complex and can be difficult to manage. This paper demonstrates the flexibility and power of SAS programming tools such as DATA step, PROC SQL and Macros to help to analyze HES.
