VIReC Database and Methods Seminar

Centralized Interactive Phenomics Resource (CIPHER): Phenotype Library and Tool Demonstration

by Kelly Cho, PhD, MPH ; Ashley Galloway, MPH ; Jacqueline Honerlaw, RN, MPH
Seminar date: 9/9/2024

Description: The Centralized Interactive Phenomics Resource (CIPHER) is a knowledgebase of computable electronic health records (EHR)-based phenotypes. EHR based phenotypes are clinical conditions, diseases, or characteristics that are derived from information contained within EHR systems. This can include data from the clinical health records system itself, claims data, registries, surveys, or a combination of data sources. The creation of EHR-based phenotypes allows for standardization across various patient populations, electronic health systems, research projects, and operations. During this session, CIPHER will provide a live demonstration of the phenotype library and describe how it can be leveraged by health data users.

Objectives:
1. Define phenotyping and describe the CIPHER Program
2. Provide a live demonstration of the publicly accessible CIPHER phenotype library
3. Describe future directions for the program and website development
