opencodecounts

The goal of opencodecounts is to make yearly summaries of SNOMED Code Usage in Primary Care and ICD-10 and OPCS-4 Code Usage in Secondary Care in England, published by the NHS, available in R for research. The interactive opencodecounts Shiny App provides different options to explore these datasets.
The original data is available from NHS Digital at:

• SNOMED Code Usage in Primary Care
• ICD-10 and OPCS-4 Code Usage in Inpatient Secondary Care
