OHDSI National Node Switzerland

Background 

Our University Hospital is a part of the national Swiss Personalised Health Network Initiative. We want make health-relevant data interoperable and shareable for research in Switzerland.

Our goal is to build a strong, comprehensive semantic layer for the hospital’s clinical data warehouse as a foundation. Our journey began with this core idea, and we've been actively exploring tools to support the goals of the Swiss Personalised Health Network, while also searching for further international collaboration partners. We've successfully built an OMOP CDM model for our project and are now embarking on this exciting phase with a consortium of further organizations in Switzerland.

Objectives 

  • Strong Semantic Layer
  • Ensure Interoperability from the first entry point
  • Building Expertise in Terminologies
  • Medical Decision Support and Research
