Weekly OHDSI Digest- March 1, 2021

WEEKLY MEETINGS

Weekly Community Call:
This week’s OHDSI Community Call will feature breakout sessions on some important tools/processes for collaborative research: ETL, ATLAS and HADES. We’re thrilled to have some wonderful community leaders moderating these discussions. Clair Blacketer and Melanie Philofsky will lead our ETL conversation, Greg Klebanov and Anthony Sena will lead the ATLAS discussion, and Adam Black and Marc Suchard will lead the HADES discussion.

Since a few people weren’t able to get to the proper breakout because they didn’t have the chat feature in the meeting, I am including them here as well. If you want to be part of the ETL discussion, you have the easiest path — it will take place within the community call, so you can settle in at 11 am ET.

For the ATLAS conversation, please go here. For the HADES conversation, please go here.

Many of you will have the calendar link in your OHDSI Teams environment. If not, you will need the specific meeting link to access the community call; it will also be posted in the main OHDSI Teams environment. As always, if you can’t make it, the recordings will be posted to both our Community Calls page and the General OHDSI Teams recordings folder.

OHDSI SHOUTOUTS

OHDSI and HL7 recently announced a collaboration to address the sharing and tracking of data in the healthcare and research industries by creating a single common data model. The organizations will integrate HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) and OHDSI’s OMOP common data model to achieve this goal. Read more about this here.

Congratulations to Ed Burn, Anthony Sena, Kristin Kostka, Talita Duarte-Salles, Dani Prieto-Alhambra and the full team (42 authors!) on this February MedRxiv preprint coming from our #OHDSICOVID19 work in CHARYBDIS: Use of dialysis, tracheostomy, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation among 842,928 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States. Community feedback is appreciated for these preprints.

Congratulations to Kristin Kostka, Talita Duarte-Salles, Albert Prats-Uribe , Anthony Sena , and the entire team for submitting the manuscript about the overall CHARYBDIS study for peer review.

The upcoming PIONEER/EHDEN/OHDSI study-a-thon to study the natural history of prostate cancer starts in less than one week. You can register for the event, scheduled for March 8-12, by clicking here.
