Example hospital datasets containing proper names in different formats

Example hospital datasets, one from an in-patient department (dat_ipd), and the other from an ICU department (dat_icu). The datasets contain some common patients but with variation in how the names are written. Note these data are fake – the patient names are simply random combinations of common French names.

Format

Data frames each with two columns:

name_ipd/name_icu

patient name

date_ipd/date_icu

date of entry to given department
