rapbase is an R package holding common R functions for Rapporteket which is a reporting service for Norwegian medical quality registries.

Looking into how others have implemented rapbase for various registries is also an excellent way of learning the use of rapbase.

Please feel free to also contact the maintainers and authors directly.
Please provide any comments (e.g. on proposed enhancements, shortcomings, errors) through the issue tracker.
Contributors submit their code by forking from the ‘rel’ branch and opening of pull request. Development workflow must apply unit testing of the code. In addition to automated testing proposed changes and additions to the rapbase code will be accepted (or rejected) based on manual code reviews. Code that is accepted will be merged into the ‘rel’ branch, tagged and used for full scale TESTING and QA prior to PRODUCTION deployment.
