Identification, recording, and reasonable adjustments for people with a learning disability and autistic people in NHS electronic clinical record systems: studies using routine data, data linkage and artificial intelligence to improve access to, and quality of, NHS care.

  • Applicant: Rory Sheehan
  • Project ID: 25-078

Reasoning:
It is important that neurodevelopmental conditions are accurately and consistently recorded across healthcare settings, if reasonable adjustments to care are to be made.

What the project will do:
We will explore recording of intellectual disability and autism in SLaM records and linked datasets (HES and Lambeth DataNet) to identify completeness and accuracy of recording and where, and in whom, these conditions may be under-recorded. We aim to develop a method to identify reasonable adjustments to care in SLaM electronic health record data using Natural Language Processing.

The Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) system is a computer system that allows researchers at the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) to carry out research using information from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust clinical records.
