Hip fracture is a condition associated with ageing and frailty, with an associated prevalence of 7 per 10000 population in Spain. Evidence suggests that factors in the healthcare process can influence clinical outcomes, so the creation of a national registry is an opportunity to monitor and improve this process. In this regards, Electronic Health Record (EHR) can provide a large amount of data, that can be used to populate the Spanish National Hip Fracture Registry (RNFC, by its acronym in Spanish).

- COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of electronic health records (EHRs) for timely healthcare responses and secondary uses like biomedical research, though varying data models create redundancy in data entry.
- The study aimed to create a flexible methodology using detailed clinical models (DCM) to effectively reuse EHRs from a tertiary hospital while maintaining data integrity and saving time.
- The methodology involved four stages, including identifying relevant variables for COVID-19 and designing an algorithm in R, and was successfully implemented for 4,489 patients at a large hospital.
