Just wondering who is going to HIMSS this year. Would be good to develop a bit of strategy for increasing OHDSI visibility and promoting the use of OMOP amongst the swells at HIMSS. I’m also going to start a Slack channel for on-the-fly activities.
I love idea of having an OHDSI family couch! We could watch high-quality reproducible movies with the whole gang!
@Christian_Reich I don’t get a sense that people will be buying into OHDSI-delivered analytics at HIMSS, but there is certainly lots of interest in OMOP. There may be some interoperable companies out there (i.e., all using OMOP) that don’t even realize they are interoperable!
HIMSS is a great networking opportunity and it is a fantastic show to view, understand, and compare new and upcoming products or trends; but the marketing push with non-standard vocabulary and aggressive marketing makes interpretation difficult.
So, the education coversation above maybe another OMOP vocabulary opportunity where we crosswalk non-standard to Standard vocabulary.
