Can somebody provide the current best guesstimate for number of lives in OHDSI community on 31-July-2018. I’ve been using 1.3B but I’d like confirmation/validation or correction if I’m grossly off-base. Thanks

16-17 million in the VA’s database. We also have a transformation of CMS (?) and DoD(~4 million)

@mgkahn:

We’ll do a review before the Symposium. It’s hard to do that without a nominal network membership mechanism or without shared Achilles. We are getting there.
