Hi all,

I could not join the call yesterday but was able to watch the recording during my flight and I must say this was time well spend. I could not resist to post a reply… :slight_smile:

@Patrick_Ryan i really enjoyed your presentation and I think we should not under estimate how unique the followed approach is: sharing all results in an interactive way should become the new standard. I therefore think that this study needs a bigger stage, it is really crazy that this study was presented only as a poster presentation. It is a great example on how we in OHDSI define transparent and reproducible research.

I would therefore like to make others, including European regulators, aware of this study and the power the CDM and all the great opportunities the framework and tools have to offer. I was wondering should we not push some great talks, like this one from Patrick, to the YouTube channel (or maybe all Tuesday meetings)? I know we have the Webex but that requires a tool to run etc etc. I also think we should be more proud on our website etc (the American way :slight_smile: ).

Some other thoughts:

  1. Do we foresee a future where others can upload the results of for example this study so we take this one step further: really dynamic up-to-date study results? In the PLP group we are working on this idea for prediction and especially external validation, but will we make this the standard for the future?

  2. I saw in the presentation the (to me) cryptic name of the repository and shinyApp link. I am sure there is logic in this name, drug-comparator-outcome, something like that? Are we thinking of standardising this or do we actually prefer “Observe4D” in this case?

  3. I also like the idea of @jon_duke to add annotation and discussion to make it even more interactive and dynamic. Not sure this can be done in Shiny but maybe embedded in another web-page with some threading functionality as seen for new articles etc.

@clairblacketer great work on how you are managing the CDM v6!

Peter
