About this project

This repository was created to carry out a short data report (SDR) on the quality of medicines data in the raw.tpp schema. The main focuses of the work are on:

• the quantity field in the medications table
  • a semi-structured field offering information on the quantity of medications prescribed
• the repeat_medications table
  • a table providing information on prescriptions which are identified as repeats
  • this table also contains a quantity field which we will compare to that in the medications table
