Table 1 Event log requirements, based on De Roock and Martin (2022) [30]
Element | Description |
|---|---|
Timestamps | Dates, timestamps |
Case identifier | A case identification code that is consistent and unique, e.g. one code per patient |
Activity identifier | An activity identification code that is consistent and unique. This requires data cleaning and preparation to avoid cases where identical activities or events are coded inconsistently (e.g. “Chemo” vs. “Chemotherapy”) |
Event status | Activity status information, e.g. started, complete, in progress associated with the timestamps |
Cost of event or activity | Cost estimates, stemming from e.g., diagnosis-related group codes or microcosting |
Additional data | E.g. patient characteristics, case-mix group |
