Access to Care

An R package to make it easy to view, copy, interact and publish the data products resulting from the Access to Care analysis. It also contains handly utlity functions, and the data needed to create a consistent set of examples across the multiple data product types.

Analysis Background

This project combines US CENSUS population data with hospital data provided by Medicare. A linear model is used to determine if a county is over, or under served based on the size of the population.

Installation

Install accesstocare from GitHub using:

devtools::install_github("sol-eng/accesstocare")

Usage

To view the available examples, use atc_packate_content(). It returns a list object with all of the available content. It is presented in the console, or RMarkdown, as a table.

There are three ways to use the examples:

Run an example

#> 17   Cancel
#> Enter the content number:

Enter the number to the left of the example in order to run it. For example, to open the flexdashboard example, type 3 and press enter.

To run an example without the prompt, pass the content_no argument with the number. Again, to open the flexdashboard use:

Copy example

An example can be copied to your working directory by using atc_copy_content(). It will create a new sub-folder and load the files for that particular example.

It has the same interactive mechanism as the open example function.

#> No.  Name                      Type 
#> 1    connectwidgets            Report 
#> 2    dash                      Dashboard 
#> 3    flexdashboard             Dashboard 
#> 4    htmlwidgets               Plot 
#> 5    jupyter                   Jupyter 
#> 6    launcher-programatic      Launcher 
#> 7    plot                      Plot 
#> 8    plumber-api               REST API 
#> 9    powerpoint                PowerPoint 
#> 10   powerpoint-state          PowerPoint 
#> 11   presentation              Presentation 
#> 12   RMarkdown-DataPrep        Scheduled R Script 
#> 13   RMarkdown-html            Report 
#> 14   RMarkdown-pdf             Report 
#> 15   RNotebook                 Notebook 
#> 16   shiny                     Dashboard
#> 17   Cancel
#> Enter the content number:

To avoid the interactive menu, pass the number to the left of the example, as an argument of the function:

atc_copy_content(3)  # Copies the `flexdashboard` folder

Copy all examples

atc_copy_all_content() will copy all of the examples. It will as many sub-folders as there are examples available.
