WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETINGS
Please join our July 26 (11 am ET) community call, as Clair Blacketer and members of the CDM workgroup lead a session on what to do when your data does not fit into the OMOP CDM. Our community continues to expand globally, and both individuals and organizations often look for new enhancements to the CDM. There will be a new decision tree and process implemented to try and streamline this procedure and to clarify how data model requests are made and codified.
Everybody is invited. Calendar invites for our 2022 community calls go out each Friday. 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.
