Making work visible for electronic phenotype implementation: lessons learned from the eMERGE network

ConclusionThis study presents firsthand knowledge of the substantial implementation efforts in phenotyping and introduces a novel metric (KIP) to measure portability of phenotype algorithms for quantifying such efforts across the eMERGE Network. Phenotype developers are encouraged to analyze and optimize the portability in regards to knowledge, interpretation and programming. CDMs can be used to improve the portability for some ‘knowledge-oriented’ tasks.Graphical abstract
