Healthcare Systems Interest Group (HSIG) Global Symposium meeting
The Healthcare System Interest Group will host an in-person meeting at the 2023 OHDSI Global Symposium on Sunday, October 22, 2023 from 1pm – 5pm.
EHR data and the OMOP CDM: The Healthcare System Interest Group (HSIG) will hold a 4-hour interactive lecture at the OHDSI symposium this fall. The goal of the HSIG is to support health systems on their OHDSI journey. And the first step in this journey is converting your source data to the OMOP CDM.
*We’ll be sharing the tribal knowledge that gets passed down in the one off conversations, the WG meeting you didn’t attend or knowledge gained the old fashioned way of trudging through a mountain of source data 
we did the trudging, so you don’t have to do it! Teamwork makes the dream work!
The target audience consists of the decision makers, data analysts, and ETL developers working with EHR data. We will focus on content, not the technical aspects of an implementation. This class does not replace or cover the content found in the ‘OMOP CDM and Standardized Vocabulary’ or ‘OMOP CDM ETL’ classes. It is complimentary to those classes and specific to those with non-claims data.
Main ideas include:
- Business case for OMOP CDM adoption. Guest speaker: @Paul_Nagy
- How and why you should fully define your use case before converting data.
- Resources! Where they are and how to access.
- The intricacies of source data analysis. This is not a “lift and shift” transformation.
- Custom semantic mapping your free text data, source data “gotchas”, documentation, and special considerations OMOPing EHR data.
- Testing the transformation.
- Are we there, yet? Yes! How to participate in network studies, collaborate with other OMOP CDM sites and do your own research. Guest speaker: @krfeeney
