Calculate the number of providers per person

A helper function primarily used by table_one() to calculate the number of providers per person.

Usage

get_person_num_providers(ds)

Arguments

ds

A PicnicHealth data set list object.

Value

A data frame, one row per person, with a column for person_id and number_providers, i.e the person's number of providers seen at a physical visit.

Details

Beyond its use in table_one(), this function may be useful to add an additional column to an existing analytic data.frame that already contains person_id using dplyr::left_join() to include number_providers. See examples.

  left_join(get_person_num_providers(ds))
} # }
