As Data Holder
Organisations managing health data play a central role in the European real-world evidence ecosystem. OHDSI Europe supports data holders in exploring OMOP implementation, connecting with peers, and positioning their data within a federated research network — while maintaining full governance and control over their data.
A typical pathway
Step 1
Explore
Assess how OMOP and federated analytics align with your organisational strategy and technical environment. Engage with peers who have already implemented the model.
Step 2
Prepare
Develop internal readiness by identifying technical leads, reviewing ETL approaches, and using structured implementation resources from EHDEN Academy and the OHDSI toolstack.
Step 3
Engage
Connect with the broader European data partner community, share implementation experience, and remain informed about collaborative study initiatives.
