High-throughput phenotyping strategies are capable of classifying large volumes of patients. However, translating this data to real world applications is challenging. We have developed GeoPheno, a tool which displays the geospatial prevalences of EHR-based phenotypes in the Veteran population over time. Our flexible tool can display data from a wide array of phenotypes and is integrated with the CIPHER phenotype library, allowing users to view the definitions of the conditions being visualized.

The details of the IRB/oversight body that provided approval or exemption for the research described are given below:
The IRB of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs gave ethical approval for this work.
I confirm that all necessary patient/participant consent has been obtained and the appropriate institutional forms have been archived, and that any patient/participant/sample identifiers included were not known to anyone (e.g., hospital staff, patients or participants themselves) outside the research group so cannot be used to identify individuals.
Yes
I understand that all clinical trials and any other prospective interventional studies must be registered with an ICMJE-approved registry, such as ClinicalTrials.gov. I confirm that any such study reported in the manuscript has been registered and the trial registration ID is provided (note: if posting a prospective study registered retrospectively, please provide a statement in the trial ID field explaining why the study was not registered in advance).
Yes
I have followed all appropriate research reporting guidelines, such as any relevant EQUATOR Network research reporting checklist(s) and other pertinent material, if applicable.
Yes
