SUMMARY:Hospital Electronic Health Records Data- an opportunity for Ageing

DESCRIPTION:\nA transformation is occurring in hospital record keeping. Pa
 per based systems are being replaced by more and more comprehensive electr
 onic health records. Increasingly\, these record all aspects of patients
 ’ physiological\, metabolic\, and pharmacological trajectories over time
 \, along with phenotypic and other information\, which can be retrospectiv
 ely retrieved for analysis at scale.\n\n\nOlder patients\, especially olde
 r adult inpatients\, are traditionally underserved by clinical research. T
 his inequity in research could inadvertently lead to inequity in healthcar
 e and presents a challenge for all those delivering care to older patients
 . It is well documented that older adults are frequent users of hospital s
 ervices\, especially emergency care. Therefore\, the opportunity to utilis
 e hospital electronic health records to better understand late-life health
 \, and the needs of the older adult patient population\, is an attractive 
 prospect.\n\n\n\nIn this talk I will review experiences at Addenbrooke’s
  Hospital of using routinely collected hospital data for service evaluatio
 n and research in older adults. Can this relatively novel data resource me
 aningfully add to our ability to address the challenges of frailty and age
 ing and what are its own advantages and pitfalls?’
