Team:
I heard no suggestions for topics for discussion this week, so I’ll cancel today’s meeting.
A couple things that you could use your spare hour for, in no particular order:
-
Join either of the ongoing research studies: http://www.ohdsi.org/web/wiki/doku.php?id=research:ongoing_studies. For the first study, we plan to share results at the OHDSI F2F Mar23-24, so there’s still time to join. According to @Vojtech_Huser, it only takes 7 minutes to run the analysis, so what you do with your other 53 minutes is your call:)
-
Review the proposed research study that @rkboyce presented at last week’s meeting: http://www.ohdsi.org/web/wiki/doku.php?id=research:pgx_drug_exposure
-
Consider contributing to an OHDSI publication about the CDM and technical infrastructure to support international distributed analytics: OMOP CDM / infrastructure publication opportunity
-
Consider contributing to another OHDSI publication / workshop / panel proposal for an AMIA submission: http://www.ohdsi.org/web/wiki/doku.php?id=research:manuscripts. Deadline is 12Mar2015.
-
Lead a PCORI Methods grant submission. You can bang out a letter-of-intent in 1 hr, it’s due 6Mar2015: http://www.pcori.org/announcement/improving-methods-conducting-patient-centered-outcomes-research-spring-2015-cycle
-
Propose your own research study for the OHDSI community to consider: http://www.ohdsi.org/web/wiki/doku.php?id=research:protocols_in_development
-
Contribute to any of the ongoing analytics development projects:
Fix an open issue on ACHILLES: https://github.com/ohdsi/achilles/issues
Test out the current cohort definition capabilities within CIRCE: http://www.ohdsi.org/web/circe/
Evaluate the integrity of the Vocabulary v5 using HERMES: http://www.ohdsi.org/web/hermes/index.html and post any issues you identify so @Christian_Reich can incorporate it into future releases: https://github.com/OHDSI/Vocabulary-v5.0/issues -
Apply CohortMethod to your next safety surveillance or comparative effectiveness research question: https://github.com/OHDSI/CohortMethod
-
Submit an application to RESDAC to acquire some CMS data so you can contribute to and take advantage of the work coming out of the CMS ETL working group: http://forums.ohdsi.org/t/medicare-etl-development/264/33; https://github.com/OHDSI/ETL-CMS
So many ways for you to contribute to the OHDSI community, the choice is up to you!
Cheers,
Patrick
