National centre for healthy ageing data platform: Developing a core set of research data from hospital electronic health record systems: A modified Delphi approach.

ABSTRACT: Background: Hospital electronic health record (EHR) systems contain extensive data of varying quality and suitability for research. Identifying research suitable data from hospital systems is rarely performed using a structured approach. Objective: To define a core set of research suitable data, from multiple hospital datasets and systems for the National Centre for Healthy Ageing Data Platform. Method: Candidate data were identified based on: published literature, researcher survey and quality audit. We recruited researchers and clinicians to participate in a modified Delphi method to achieve consensus on the core data. Live online surveys were conducted across 11 datasets. Participants rated the relevance of each data item using a Likert scale and provide additional
