WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETINGS
Please join our Jan. 24 community call (11 am ET) for an important conversation about ways the OHDSI community can collaborate to achieve three strategic priorities presented at the start of the year.
During the initial community call of 2023, Patrick Ryan shared a trio of foundational pillars that need to be strengthened to enable reliable evidence generation. Next week, Patrick will join Anna Ostropolets and Clair Blacketer to propose specific strategies to address these three priorities:
• Standardized vocabularies
• Standardized data network
• Collaborating on network studies: “The Sisyphus Challenge”
Everybody is invited. There is a new calendar invite for 2023 calls which went out last week. If you did not receive one, please use this link to join the meeting. All recordings from these weekly meetings will be posted on both our main OHDSI Teams tenant and on our OHDSI.org Community Calls page.
