That’s because GPRD still had them when we started. And we never actually delete anything. So, the OXMISses are just sitting there smiling happily and not going anywhere, even though nobody ever comes across them in the data anymore.
Hi I’m an assistant professor of geriatrics at the Brown Alpert Medical School in Providence, Rhode Island, and a postdoctoral researcher at the Providence VA. I’m interested in using health system data to evaluate the effects of case management and care coordination and the specific case of dementia-focused case management and care coordination. I discovered OHDSI by searching YouTube for lectures on a specific research method (self-controlled case series). I was impressed by a talk recorded at an OHDSI meeting, and when I read about your organization, the mission, vision, and values really resonated with me.
I’m interested in getting involved, open to suggestions regarding which channels of the community might align best with my interests.

Hello, everyone
Thank the works of everyone for providing OHDSI for the community. My name is Tom Hsiung and I am a pharmacist in healthcare system. I am interested in the discipline of Pharmacoepidemiology and my research experience mainly focuses on observational studies. The reason I would like to join OHDSI is to extend my knowledge and skills in observational studies.
My expertise focuses on cardiology, especially the anticoagulation service. But I have a much wilder range of interest in observational research. In addition, I spend some of my time on statistics.
I would like to join the OHDSI to run studies or write research papers. Thank you again for creating the OHDSI.
Hi everyone, I’m Pharm.Dr Onyeka, a pharmacist/data scientist with very deep interest in healthcare Data analytics and machine learning…
Prior to now, I’ve been experimenting with anonymised healthcare Data…
I’m looking to collaborate with anyone who’s doing a project involving analysing real-world healthcare Data or creating machine learning models around it…
Later this year, summer 2024, I hope to be enrolled in a PhD program in Clinical trials/research or healthcare Data analytics in a US university.
Anyone working on any project relating real-world healthcare Data and needs assistance or collaboration could send me a mail at onyeka.onwughai@gmail.com
Hi
I am Lena Rosenmann from Rambam Hospital Israel.
I am going to help standardization of Rambam Data using OMOP approach. So I just dive in.
Thx

Hi All,
My name is Usman, and I work as a Data Architect at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Center (SKMCH&RC) in Lahore, Pakistan. Currently, I am leading the OMOP CDM project at SKMCH&RC. I started my OHDSI journey back in 2020, where we mapped our COVID patient’s data to OMOP CDM (Integrating real-world data from Brazil and Pakistan into the OMOP common data model and standardized health analytics framework to characterize COVID-19 in the Global South | Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association | Oxford Academic). Now, I am taking it further to map all our EMR data, including 130k cancer patients and 8.5m diagnostic patients as of 31 Dec 2023.
I am interested in collaborating and contributing on ETLs, Data Mappings, and Migrations to OMOP CDM, as well as Data Visualizations and Data Analysis for research purposes. I look forward to engaging with the community on these topics and exploring potential collaborations.
Thanks,
Usman

Hi OHDSI community -
I have been watching the community grow over the past several years, starting in my role as associate professor at Northwell Health in NYC. My name is Negin Hajizadeh and I am an active pulmonary critical care doctor and physician scientist with deep interests in realizing the promise of personalized medicine for patients in the ICU, using RWD to learn from heterogeneity of treatments administered in the real world and heterogeneity of effects in different individuals and groups.
I am most interested in analyzing critical care diseases with a complex systems lens, analyzing the trajectories of changes in organ function simultaneously for each patient. I joined Bayer as a senior RWD researcher over a year ago where I focus on acute care research.
In the OHDSI community I am eager to support the development of a critical care research collaborative so that we can learn from our collective experiences to improve critical care disease outcomes.
Is there already such a working group (critical care research- specifically medical critical care) and if not - would you be interested in working with us (@Pareenvora) in this endeavo(u)r?
Looking forward to hearing from the community.

Hi! I’m Marcio Cavalante de Oliveira, I have been working in the IT field for over 20 years now, mostly with system administration and cloud systems. A couple of years ago I joined a healthcare cloud solutions team and we are in charge of understand, design and delivery projects for this area, specially data and medical imaging related projects. My main goal right now is to get involved in the OHDSI community and acquire knowledge and experience with OMOP.
Thanks,
This topic is temporarily closed for at least 4 hours due to a large number of community flags.
Hi, I am Mitchell (“Mitch”) Fawcett, Senior Data Scientist at Christiana Care Health System. We recently loaded our EHR data into an OMOP v5.4 CDM database. The database is hosted on AWS and I am mainly using PySpark and Spark SQL to analyze it. My core mission at the moment is verify that the OMOP database accurately represents our source data. Other members of our organization have little to no experience with OMOP or the tools provided by OHDSI. I won’t be doing any direct research myself. I will be training other investigators at Christiana Care in understanding how to use the data in our new CDM.

I have worked in the healthcare area with data modeling and patient-centered applications for 10 years in Brazil and around the world.
I currently work at the Albert Einstein Israeli Society, one of the largest hospitals focused on research, health and human well-being in Latin America. My team and I are working to map the current product that standardizes data using OHDSI’s OMOP CDM to migrate to a scalable cloud environment.
I am really looking forward to learning more from this community and I hope, together with the team, to improve the resources and this will be useful to the clinical research community, both at the research center I participate in and the OHDSI community. Get in touch if you are also a tool builder or if you would like to share your thoughts and feedback on experiences.
