DESCRIPTION:Using linked electronic health record (EHR) data presents a no
 vel set of challenges for research: understanding how\, why\, when\, and w
 hat information is recorded\, and converting this into data that can be an
 alysed using conventional epidemiological techniques.  In this talk I will
  discuss research based on two different EHR collections.  The first relat
 es to identifying cardiovascular conditions using national-level data from
  the ClinicAl disease research using Linked Bespoke studies and Electronic
  Records (CALIBER) project at the Farr Institute London.  The second will 
 touch on the complexities of studying patients in treatment for psychiatri
 c conditions using the EHR data held at the South London and Maudsley NHS 
 Foundation Trust Biomedical Research Centre (SLaM BRC) and Institute of Ps
 ychiatry\, Psychology\, & Neuroscience. I will highlight some of the emerg
 ing strategies that these\, and other linked records projects\, are develo
 ping to help interpret EHR data and facilitate transparent\, reproducible 
 research on a large scale.
