Overview

• Background

• 'C to the Power of 3'

– Connect

– Create

– Collaborate

• Examples

• References

Background

• Manitoba Health Initiatives:

– Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Adoption Program

– Chronic Disease Management

– Physician Integrated Network

• Utilizing SAS

– What are we trying to achieve?

– Why and how SAS?

3

• Connect:– Using SAS to connect an external data source. e.g.,

Oracle/ Access database.

• Create:– Use PROC SQL to manipulate data.– Build Excel template and name ranges.– LIBNAME command to access the template and

populate report data.– Save reports into a permanent folder with the current

date.

• Collaborate:– Email report to the recipients.

'C to the Power of 3'

Connect

Things to consider for SAS connections:

• SAS/ ACCESS license

• Via ODBC connect

• Ways to connect

– PROC IMPORT

– LIBNAME statement

– SQL Pass-Through

5

Connect (cont.)

1) PROC IMPORT

6

PROC IMPORT OUT= WORK.FormDetails

DATATABLE= “FormDetials"

DBMS=ACCESS REPLACE;

DATABASE=“D:\CDM_tariff.accdb";

SCANMEMO=YES;

USEDATE=YES;

SCANTIME=YES;

RUN;

2) LIBNAME statement• Connect a PC file format database:

• Connect a client server database:

7

LIBNAME oraconn odbc dsn=dsn_name uid=scott pwd=tiger; /*IF you would like to avoid the hardcoded user name and password then you may use

the method below or use PROC PWENCODE to create an encrypted value and/or pass as a

macro variable input.*/

LIBNAME oradata odbc dsn=dsn_name uid=&uid. pwd=&upass.

schema=EMRData;

/** %DISPLAY invokes the prompt **/ [Ref.HIM]

%window info

#5 @5 'Please enter your userid:'

#5 @40 uid 20 attr=underline

#7 @5 'Please enter your password:'

#7 @40 upass 20 attr=underline

%display info;

LIBNAME accDB ‘D:\CDM_tariff.accdb';

Connect (cont.)

Connect (cont.)

3) SQL Pass-Through:

PROC SQL <options> ;CONNECT TO ORACLE <AS alias> USER=ORACLE-user-namePASSWORD=ORACLE-passwordPATH="ORACLE-path-designation"BUFFSIZE=number-of-rowsPRESERVE_COMMENTS;<sql statements>DISCONNECT FROM ORACLE;QUIT;

• Query data and build your report using PROC SQL and/or DATA Step.

• Use LIBNAME function to access pre-formatted EXCEL template and populate the template with data captured.

• Use Excel name ranges to customize and access Excel columns in SAS.

• Move/copy the report into a permanent folder.

Create

Create (cont.)Query Data and build your report using PROC SQL and/or DATA Step:

10

/*SELECT DATA FROM MULTIPLE TABLES BY USING SQL JOIN AND BUILD REPORTS

BASED ON BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS*/

PROC SQL;

CREATE TABLE cdmdata AS

SELECT datacollection.*, formDetails.*

FROM datacollection

INNER JOIN formdetails

ON datacollection.id = formdetails.datacollectionid

ORDER BY formdetails.datacollectionid;

QUIT;

Business Requirements:

– Check supplementary information in the CDM forms and find out if the required test results were filled in as required or left blank.

– Check whether patients meet target of test result(s).

/* THIS PART IS FOR ACCESSING EXCEL TEMPLATE AND PUT DATA INTO THE PRE-

FORMATTED TEMPLATE, YOU MAY USE DATA STEPS OR PROC SQL TO COMPLETE THE TASK*/

LIBNAME xls EXCEL 'C:\temp\demo.xls' ver=2003;/* CLEAR VARIABLE*/

PROC datasets LIB = xls NOLIST;

DELETE rundate;

DELETE myrange;

QUIT;/* ASSIGN VALUE INTO A VARIABLE*/

DATA xls.rundate;

FORMAT Date_Report_Run yymmddd10.;

Date_Report_Run = today();

RUN;/* PLACE DATA INTO RANGE ASSIGNED*/

DATA xls.myrange;

SET work.rpt3;

RUN;/* CLEAR - RECOMMENDED*/

LIBNAME xls CLEAR;

11

Use LIBNAME function to access EXCEL template and populate:

12

PROC SQL:

proc sql noprint;

/*Update report title and other details within the title by using PROC SQL*/

update report.reportTitle

set

Value = "EMR Data Extract Error Details"

where Element = "Title";

/*Attach clinic name on the report title PROC SQL*/


set

Value = "Clinic - &Clinicname. (" || put(&currentclinic.,z4.)

where Element = "Clinic";

/*Attach date received */

select max(DATE_RECIEVED) into: recieveDate from PINData.raw_data_archive x

where

x.clinic_ID = &currentClinic.

and x.batch_ID = &currentBatch.

group by clinic_id , batch_id;

/*And so on.. */


set

dtValue = put(Date(),DATE9.)

where Element = "rundate"; /*[Ref. HIM] */

/*COPY REPORT INTO A PERMANENT FOLDER AND INCLUDE REPORT RUNDATE IN TITLE*/

%LET him=D:\Roushain\CDM\test;

OPTIONS NOXWAIT;

DATA _NULL_;

xcommand = "copy ""C:\temp\demo.xls"" ""&him.\DataQualityReport-&SYSDATE..xls""";

CALL system(xcommand);

RUN;

13

/* OR BUILD YOUR MACRO TO HAVE MORE CONTROL ON YOUR OUTPUT */

%Macro GetDateStamp(VariableName=_DateStamp);

%global &VariableName.;

%let dateYear=%qsysfunc(year(%qsysfunc(date())));

%let dateMonth=%qsysfunc(putn(%qsysfunc(Month(%qsysfunc(date()))),z2.));

%let dateDay=%qsysfunc(putn(%qsysfunc(Day(%qsysfunc(date()))),z2.));

%let &VariableName.=&dateYear.&DateMonth.&DateDay.;

%mend;

/* CALL MACRO by fdate */

%getdatestamp(VariableName = fdate);

DATA_NULL;

xcommand = "copy ""C:\temp\demo.xls""

"“D:\Roushain\CDM\test\ReportOverview - &fdate..xls""";

CALL system(xcommand);

RUN; /*[Ref. HIM] */

Copy the report into a permanent folder:

Sample output

Sample output:

Collaborate

• FILENAME statement with the EMAIL device-type keyword

• Options specified in the FILENAME or FILE statements indicating the e-mail recipients, subject, and any attached files

• PUT statements that contain the body of the message

• PUT statements that contain special e-mail directives (of the form !EM_directive!) that can override the e-mail attributes (TO, CC, BCC, SUBJECT, ATTACH) or perform actions (such as SEND, ABORT, and start a NEWMSG)

16

Collaborate (cont.)
