Hospital episodes can overlap or have gaps which can result in under or over counting. This is the first (significant) release of the {NHSRepisodes} package which contains functions which can be used to rectify this common analytical issue in NHS data.
Since the earlier, proof of concept version of the package, there have been a few minor changes that early adopters may observe:
- Fixed bugs in add_parent_interval(): one to ensure row ordering is preserved and a second to prevent dropping of non-specified columns.
- The included README now makes use of recent additions within {dplyr} and will require version 1.1.0 (or later) for the examples to run.
- Dependencies {rlang} and {cli} have been dropped.
