Please join us on Tuesday, February 15, 2022 at 19 UTC for our next SNOMED CT Research Webinar where Dr. Paulette Chandler will be presenting, Hypertension Demonstration Project in the All of Us Research Workbench: Using SNOMED codes in the EHR.
Hypertension (HTN) is a major public health concern and remains a leading risk factor for other diseases. This hypertension prevalence project uses the All of Us Researcher Workbench, a cloud-based platform where approved researchers can access and analyze All of Us data. The Workbench includes data from All of Us surveys, Electronic Health Records (EHR), and physical measurements (PM). SNOMED codes are used in an hypertension EHR algorithm to identify patients with hypertension. Our rationale for this study was to validate a definition of HTN in the All of Us Research Program Workbench using rule-based algorithms.
