Appologize for the late notice. There will be an important discussion happening today (6Jul23) in the HL7 Terminology Infrastructure WG meeting at 4pm via Zoom here. Grahame Grieve will be presenting a couple of designs for putting the OMOP Vocabulary on FHIR. A good deal of discussion about this can be found here in the FHIR specification wiki.

As this is such late notice, please note that Grahame is asking some very interesting questions here, as also pertaining to leveraging indirect (additional) realtionships in the OMOP Vocabulary structure. He has explicitly asked to have additional input from OMOP Vocabuory experts in this discussion. If not today - we can facilitate in a short “task force” array of meetings.

More on this as it develops
Cheers,
Davera

The meeting was recorded, a link to that will be posted here when it becomes avilable. If needed, a task force may be created to round-out the doscussion. Meanwhile follow-up discussions are also happening via the HL7 FHIR Chat stream here. The FHIR Community is quite interested in gaining additional review and input from the OHDSI Vocabulary Community.

Thanks, Davera! If you are attending the next Vocab WG call on July 25th, we could touch base on the next steps.

As a follow-up to our comnversation in today’s Vocabulary WG call… the HL7 TI WG voted last Thursday to accept Grahame’s option #3. Additional comments from the OHDSI community are welcome. The result of this work will be to create a page here for the OMOP Vocabulary, Entitled: Using the OMOP Vocabulary on FHIR."

An expedient way to provide feedback is through use of the FHIR community forum on Zulip at chat.fhir.org. This stream is dedicated to the OMOP + FHIR Terminology discussions. The Terminology Stream also has this specific post re: this proposal to put the OMOP Vcoabulary on FHIR.

Please do not be shy - the FHIR Community is keen to hear your thoughts (or questions!)
Cheers
