BackgroundA scalable approach for the sharing and reuse of human-readable and computer-executable phenotype definitions can facilitate the reuse of electronic health records for cohort identification and research studies. DescriptionWe developed a tool called Sharephe for the Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) platform. Sharephe consists of a plugin for i2b2 and a cloud-based searchable repository of computable phenotypes, has the functionality to import to and export from the repository, and has the ability to link to supporting metadata. DiscussionThe i2b2 platform enables researchers to create, evaluate, and implement phenotypes without knowing complex query languages. In an initial evaluation, two sites on the Evolve to Next-Gen ACT (ENACT) network used Sharephe to successfully create, share, and reuse phenotypes. ConclusionThe combination of a cloud-based computable repository and an i2b2 plugin for accessing the repository enables investigators to store and retrieve phenotypes from anywhere and at any time and to collaborate across sites in a research network.

Matching journals

The top 4 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
