Title: "EHR Data Quality in Genetic Research: Why You Should Worry & What You Can Do About It"
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe how biobanks are used for genetic study.
2. Understand high-throughput phenotyping techniques.
3. Learn how to conduct replication experiments with biobank data.
Abstract:
Genetics researchers increasingly rely on EHRs as a source of phenotypic data. While EHRs have enormous potential to help us further map the phenotype/genotype terrain, generating accurate phenotypes using real-world EHR data can be challenging. In this talk, I will discuss the way EHR data quality impacts genetics research with concrete examples from both the common/complex and rare disease domains, and describe ways that analysts can detect error and enhance the quality of their EHR-based phenotypes.
HYBRID FORMAT: 2525 West End Avenue, 8th Floor, Room 8110.
