Founded in 2014, the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI, pronounced “Odyssey”) initiative grew out of the successful Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP). OHDSI is a multi-stakeholder, interdisciplinary, open-science collaborative to bring out the value of health data through large-scale analytics. With more than 2,000 collaborators across 74 countries and health records for about 810 million unique patients from around the world, OHDSI seeks to improve health by empowering a community to collaboratively generate the evidence that promotes better health decisions and better care. OHDSI’s data network is based on its OMOP common data model, enabling federated analytics amongst collaborators.

This introductory tutorial will cover the history and development of OHDSI / OMOP community, its global adaptions and how OMOP ecosystem works, in which Mui will walk through the process, tools and benefits of performing OMOP CDM conversion, ETL process, data quality check, analytics, and network research with CDM data and OHDSI community.
