Details
This project will develop a causal inference framework for safety and effectiveness evaluations of medical products that leverage claims data alone or in combination with electronic health record data. The framework will consider the domains of study conduct including transparency, study implementation, and robustness evaluation. This framework can be used as a guide for the design and conduct of an inferential study, or to efficiently evaluate studies implemented by others. This project will demonstrate the value and utility of the proposed framework by implementing these principles in one or more case-example(s) using routinely collected healthcare data.
