Missing Field: Visit ID – Processing

Intakes the output of check_mf_visitid in order to apply additional processing. This includes computing proportions of missing visits and computing overall totals across all sites included in the input.

Usage

process_mf_visitid(
  mf_visitid_results,
  rslt_source = "remote",
  csv_rslt_path = NULL
)

Arguments

mf_visitid_results

tabular input || required

The tabular output of check_mf_visitid. This table should include results for all institutions that should be included in the computation of overall / "network level" statistics.

rslt_source

string || defaults to remote

A string that identifies the location of the mf_visitid_results table. Acceptable values are

• local - table is stored as a dataframe in the local R environment

• csv - table is stored as a CSV file

• remote - table is stored on a remote database

csv_rslt_path

string || defaults to NULL

If rslt_source has been set to csv, this parameter should indicate the path to the result file(s). Otherwise, this parameter can be left as NULL

Value

This function will return the mf_visitid_results table with the addition of a column that reflects proportion of missing visits

Examples

# This function should be run after check_mf_visitid has been executed for all
# network institutions and results have been combined into a common table

# Once the labels have been applied, the function can be executed
## When results are kept locally:
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
my_mf_visitid_process <- process_mf_visitid(mf_visitid_results = my_mf_visitid_rslts,
                                            rslt_source = 'local')
} # }

## When results are kept in CSV files:
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
my_mf_visitid_process <- process_mf_visitid(mf_visitid_results = 'my_mf_visitid_rslts',
                                            rslt_source = 'csv',
                                            csv_rslt_path = 'path/to/my/results')
} # }

## When results are kept on a remote database:
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
my_mf_visitid_process <- process_mf_visitid(mf_visitid_results = 'my_mf_visitid_rslts',
                                            rslt_source = 'remote')
} # }
