Jenni Quint
Health Data Research Hub for Respiratory Health (BREATHE), Imperial College London
Jennifer Quint is a Reader in Respiratory Epidemiology in Respiratory Epidemiology,Occupational Medicine and Public Health at the National Heart and Lung Institute and Honorary Consultant Physician in Respiratory Medicine at Royal Brompton Hospital, London.
Dr Quint’s research interests centre on the use of electronic health records to study chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as well as other chronic respiratory diseases including bronchiectasis and asthma. The majority of her work has been on exacerbations of COPD, exploring both the effect of COPD exacerbations on vascular outcomes and the relationship between environmental factors and exacerbations of COPD. Additionally she has undertaken several pieces of work in validation of identification of respiratory diseases in electronic health records.
Project: COVID-19 Phenomics
A comprehensive, open-access resource providing the research community with information, tools and phenotyping algorithms for defining COVID-19 related phenotypes in UK electronic health records data.
Recording COVID-19 related events in electronic health records.
Electronic health records are digital records of a patient’s health and care. When small amounts of data from many patients are linked up and pooled, researchers and doctors can look for patterns. This information can be used to plan local services and research new treatments.
Variations in how information is recorded in electronic health records can make this process hard.
Using a standard set of identifiers, to describe things like symptoms and treatments, helps to ensure records are consistent and enables their use in health data research.
BREATHE has contributed to the development of a standard set of definitions and codes, used to record COVID-19 related events in electronic health records.
