The goal of epidm is provide standard methods for the
management and transformation of UK Public Health data.

Available via CRAN or you can download the development version via GitHub
install.packages("epidm")
devtools::install_github("alexbhatt/epidm")The epidm package has been developed to share standard
methods for the processing of epidemiological data in the UK. Key data
assets this focuses on include
The Second Generation Surveillance System (SGSS) is a data asset held by the UK Health Security Agency (formerly Public Health England) which routinely and automatically collects laboratory data from across England.
Laboratories return data on organisms isolated from samples such as the organism species, specimen type, sampling date and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results. These data are routinely used for public health surveillance and epidemiology in England.
The functions for dealing with hospital data within
epidm are designed to help clean, process, and link the
hospital in a meaningful way. These methods have been used to help
understand Healthcare
Associated COVID-19 in England.
ECDS is the national data set for urgent and emergency care and is reported daily by NHS Trusts.
SUS is the single, comprehensive repository for healthcare data in England which enables a range of reporting and analyses to support the NHS in the delivery of healthcare services. SUS is reported monthly, by the 21st of each month for the previous months data.
HES is a data warehouse containing details of all admissions, outpatient appointments and A and E attendances at NHS hospitals in England. Hes is reported quarterly, and is a ‘cleaned’ version of SUS and ECDS.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
