Weekly OHDSI Digest – August 21, 2023

Please join our Aug. 22 (11 am ET) community call for a session focused on OHDSI and Clinical Registries: Sanity for Health Systems. This session will discuss how clinical registries can scale by using EHR automation and standardization by using the OMOP data model. We will share our experiences with the Cure ID clinical registry on efforts to lower the effort to ETL EHR data into OMOP, as well as getting more value for health systems by deploying OHDSI software within their clinical research environments. In our panel we will share experiences from Emory and UT Southwestern to build capacity for OHDSI in their organization. This session will be led by:

• Paul Nagy , Program Director for Graduate Training in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science, Deputy Director of the Johns Hopkins Medicine Technology Innovation Center

• Lee Evans , Founder, LTS Computing LLC

• DuWayne Willett , Chief Medical Informatics Officer, University of Texas Southwestern Health System

• Jeff Weaver , Director of Data Solutions for Emory University

Everybody is invited. Calendar invites went out last week. If you did not receive one, please use this link to join the meeting. All recordings from these weekly calls are available within our Teams environment and will be posted on both our YouTube page and our OHDSI.org Community Calls page.

The OHDSI community will vote for their favorite and we will crown a winner! Do you sing or play a musical instrument? Do you dance? Can you do magic or comedy? Do you have some other unique skill that you can demonstrate in 6 minutes or less? We want to see it! If you are interested in participating, please fill out this form. The deadline to submit this form is 8pm ET on Friday, September 22; you will be notified of your acceptance by Friday, September 29.
