Excited to see this get started!

A small favor to ask of the community…

If any of you are involved in or aware of projects connecting OMOP and FHIR, can you post a link in this thread?

I’ll start with a few examples:

OMOP on FHIR
FHIR to CDM
Common Data Model Harmonization
KETOS

Thanks and look forward to seeing many of you at the event next week!

Long back-story why above data flows but this is what we are doing…

Looking forward to the agreements….our use case is aggregating data consistently from disparate systems — what’s the best approach—

Are these available somewhere yet? I’m having trouble finding them, but may very well be looking in the wrong places @Christian_Reich

Friends:

We had the kick-off meeting last week, marking the beginning of the process of organizing the mixed HL7-OHDSI Working Group, which will develop the goals, plans and organizational structure of our move towards consolidating FHIR and the OMOP CDM. Please find all presentations and recordings on the HL7 confluence page.

Resources used by the HL7 community

For the time being, we will publish all material and communication here and in these places.

What is going to happen next:

  1. We are planning a 2-hour workshop at the end of the month to start the Work Group. That workshop should conclude on the following:
    • The online home for the Working Group
    • Mechanisms of communication
    • Mechanisms of decision making
    • Potential subgroups and mechanisms for induction
    • Ownership and Open Source nature
  2. We are going to get your input in the process and call for ideas and suggestions.
  3. We are going to reach out to existing efforts, get them organized and their owners mobilized.

For CIBMTR’s Data Transformation Initiative, we are bringing in data in from their transplant center network via FHIR (mostly with a SMART on FHIR app) and integrating via OMOP

Hi Dana,
Will both worships on the 29th and the 30th of September be recorded and then distributed on the OHDSI YouTube channel? If not, am I allowed to record them on my local computer?
My research group is looking into converting our db into both HL7 FHIR and OMOP CDM and standard vocabularies. Your HL7 FHIR and OMOP workshop will be very helpful for us to watch and study multiple times :sweat_smile:

Hi Cordelia:
Links to the workshop recordings and presentations will be posted here. Glad you can join :slight_smile:

Thanks, Dana!
Look forward to meeting you at the workshops!

Hi everyone:

A quick update for this week’s HL7 FHIR and OMOP workshop.

Day 2 (30 Sept.) has been extended by 30 minutes. New time is 4pm-5:30pm ET (8-9:30pm UTC). There is still time to register!

Hi everyone,
Someone probably is already aware of these kind of opportunities. This just crossed my inbox:

I was on the registry subgroup yesterday and this seems like worth putting on the radar at large.

This is a great heads up @allanwu, particularly in the context of yesterdays discussion. Thanks for sharing!

Hi everyone:

We held the HL7 FHIR and OHDSI OMOP workshop last week. The purpose of the workshop was to identify and prioritize use cases to advance the OHDSI-HL7 collaboration and to begin the process of setting up initial projects within OHDSI and HL7. Please find the recordings, materials and resources on the HL7 Confluence page.

Five (5) subgroups have been established to advance the use cases/projects. Subgroups may be added over time as more use cases are identified. Please refer to the Projects/Use cases HL7 Confluence pages for subgroup updates, resources, meeting times, etc. Direct links below:

Resources

Next steps (close out workshop actions):

  1. Subgroups to finalize mechanisms for communication and collaboration
  2. Organizing committee to provide guidance to subgroups on how to proceed to next stage
