EHR data to OMOP CDM Work Group

Hello and Happy New Year!

I’m excited to kickoff the 2025 HSIG meeting series on Monday, January 13, 2025 at 10am EST. We will discuss where we want to go in 2025, ensure our vision aligns with the broader OHDSI community, and finalize our OKRs. We look forward to seeing you here to help kickoff our WG activities this year!

The next guest in the HSIG speaker’s series focusing on OMOP for non-OHDSI uses is @Daniel_Smith, Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, on Monday February 24th at 10am EST. The link is posted above.

The August 2025 vocabularies were released today on Athena. They include > 1400 standard race concept_ids and 150 standard ethnicity concepts. On our September 8th call, I will review how we can utilize the expanded conventions and standard concepts in the ETL to include all races and ethnicities for a person in the OMOP CDM.

Friends,

I am canceling the Sept. 8th meeting.

I need more time to prepare for the race & ethnicity presentation/discussion on how we can utilize the expanded conventions and standard concepts in the ETL to include all races and ethnicities for a person in the OMOP CDM. Specifically, I am working with @roger.carlson to come up with some psuedo code (and Clarity code for Epic User Web) for implementing this in your ETL.

We are targeting Sept. 22nd for this topic. I’ll keep this channel informed.
