The goal of qbgbaExtraData is to provide several datasets that can be used in conjunction with the data from the “Qualitaetsberichte der Krankenhaeuser”, which are puplished by the “Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss” (GBA) on a yearly basis. To serve this purpose, a tiny excerpt of these is also included into this package, see AllHospitals.

Installation

You can install qbgbaExtraData from Gitlab with:

devtools::install_gitlab("klinik-db/qbgbaExtraData")

library(qbgbaExtraData)
suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(dplyr))

data(populationGermany)

populationGermany %>% 
    group_by(year) %>% 
    summarize(Population = sum(count))
#> # A tibble: 6 x 2
#>   year  Population
#>   <chr>      <int>
#> 1 2015    82175684
#> 2 2016    82521653
