PM Update:
It may have only been 16 hours, but there has been tremendous progress already made in our first virtual study-a-thon; the wrap-up call highlighted a lot of the advancements being made throughout the different studies and competencies.
A few notes to come from the wrap-up call.
• @jenniferlane and @nigehughes have led the literature review and protocol development group, and finalized protocols are being developed. Volunteers continue to come forward in this area, which accelerates the process and helps set the foundation for the different study designs being developed.
• @schuemie has led the process to characterize cohorts in the study package development group. @krfeeney and @tduarte are leading the study execution group, which is working with an international set of data partners to prepare for the upcoming network studies. New data sources continue to come forward to share in this critical collaboration!
• The characterization, estimation, prediction and phenotype groups all continue to make strides, and all were discussed in the Day 1 wrap-up call. One focal point was the work done within atlas-covid19.ohdsi.org, which serves as the environment to design concept sets, cohorts and analyses together. A blank page less than 24 hours ago now has more than 100 cohorts in progress, a testament to the efforts of our community.
There was a great Q&A at the end of the wrap-up call which added some insightful discussion, and goals for Day 2 were discussed as well. Thank you to everybody for your hard work in Day 1 on this journey together; we can’t wait to see what is coming next!
