We are a global community that includes more than 3,800 researchers from more than 83 nations across six continents.

Through the OMOP CDM, we have access to 956 million de-identified patient records — nearly 12% of the world's population

We use systematic research methods and open-source tools to generate reliable, robust real-world evidence.

We believe in the core tenets of open science and collaboration.
We can make a difference by working together!

OHDSI developed and uses the OMOP Common Data Model, an open-source platform for observational research. This data model allows for the standardization of health data from various sources, allowing the analysis of large datasets from multiple sources in a consistent and reproducible manner. OHDSI has also produced a suite of open-source software packages that enables the community to translate that data into reliable evidence.
