Friends:
The Book of OHDSI is now a little over 6 years old. It is still tremendously useful and valuable, but since we have made progress as a community it is time to give it a refresh. Also, we may want to add some of our new achievements.
But what are these? We need you to step up with your ideas and let us know. The ideas could be a new chapter or a new paragraph in an existing chapter about:
- A use case based on a medical specialty (e.g. ophthalmology)
- A use case based on a new type of data (e.g. geographic information)
- A method or analytic (e.g. NLP, AI or chemotherapy regimen detection)
- A resource (e.g. OMOP Genomic vocabulary)
Be careful, a good idea may get you volunteering for some writing.
If you are interested, let us (@slseager78 and @Christian_Reich) know, either by replying here or in an email. We will soon come together to talk about these ideas, but also about the editorial rules and the constraints we have (the Book shouldn’t explode in size).
There already is a list from a previous effort, but it may be a little stale. Please check it out to give it an update.
Let’s make this fun.
