Dear OHDSI Community,

We are excited to share our new preprint on medRxiv:
“Integrating Local Vocabulary into OMOP CDM: A Step-by-Step Tutorial”
:link: https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.05.07.25327200

This tutorial provides practical guidance for healthcare informatics researchers aiming to integrate local vocabularies into the OHDSI Standardized Vocabularies—an area that has not been widely documented in detail.

We hope this step-by-step guide, illustrated with the Korean EDI code integration example, will be helpful for those seeking to incorporate local vocabularies into the OMOP vocabulary ecosystem. A submission to a peer-reviewed journal is planned.

Many thanks to Yiju and the entire vocabulary team for their outstanding work!
