We encourage you to put the data ingest and export as part of a re-usable analysis script. Examples of different functions that can be used are found here. This makes it easier for us to re-run your code in our evaluations, and it’s good coding practice! Part 1: Assemble the project cohort The project goal is to identify patients seen for drug overdose, determine if they had an active opioid at the start of the encounter, and if they had any readmissions for drug overdose. Your task is to assemble the study cohort by identifying encounters that meet the following criteria: The patient’s visit is an encounter for drug overdose The hospital encounter occurs after July 15, 1999 The patient’s age at time of encounter is between 18 and 35 (Patient is considered to be 35 until turning 36) Part 2: Create additional fields With your drug overdose encounter, create the following indicators: DEATH_AT_VISIT_IND: 1 if patient died during the drug overdose encounter, 0 if the patient died at a different time COUNT_CURRENT_MEDS: Count of active medications at the start of the drug overdose encounter CURRENT_OPIOID_IND: 1 if the patient had at least one active medication at the start of the overdose encounter that is on the Opioids List (provided below), 0 if not READMISSION_90_DAY_IND: 1 if the visit resulted in a subsequent drug overdose readmission within 90 days, 0 if not READMISSION_30_DAY_IND: 1 if the visit resulted in a subsequent drug overdose readmission within 30 days, 0 if not overdose encounter, 0 if not FIRST_READMISSION_DATE: The date of the index visit’s first readmission for drug overdose. Field should be left as N/A if no readmission for drug overdose within 90 days
