OHDSI Symposium​ 'The Journey from Data to Evidence' 2019 March 29th

The second European OHDSI Symposium called "The Journey from Data to Evidence" aimed to explain how OHDSI's methods and tools can be used to obtain reliable evidence. The focus this year was on live demonstrations of the use of these tools to answer clinical questions

The main symposium took place on Friday March 29th 2019 at the educational center of the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, The NetherlandsSaturday March 30th, and Sunday March 31st  was dedicated to tutorials.

The symposium had more than 250 participants, 35 posters, and 8 software demos.

 

Video Recordings will be available soon.

Tutorials

 

OMOP-CDM and Standardized Vocabularies Tutorial

When: March 30th. 9:00-17:00

Faculty: Christian Reich, Erica Voss, Mui van Zandt 

This tutorial will discuss all the details on the structure of the OMOP-CDM and the Standardized Vocabularies that are used to harmonize terminology. An important part of this tutorial is on how to transform your own dataset to the OMOP-CDM.

Target Audience:Data holders who want to apply OHDSI’s data standards to their own observational datasets and researchers who want to be aware of OHDSI’s data standards so they can leverage data in OMOP CDM format for their own research purposes

Population-Level Effect Estimation

When: March 30th. 9:00-17:00

This workshop is for researchers who want to design estimation studies for safety surveillance and comparative effectiveness using the OHDSI tools and programmers who want to implement and execute estimation studies using the OHDSI methods library.

Course prerequisites: knowledge of OMOP CDM and Vocabularies and either 1) epidemiologic knowledge understanding of how to define cohorts or 2) R programming skills.

Faculty: Martijn Schuemie, Patrick Ryan

    Patient-Level Prediction

When: March 31th. 9:00-17:00

This workshop is for researchers who want to design prediction studies for precision medicine and disease interception using the OHDSI tools and programmers who want to implement and execute prediction studies using the OHDSI methods library.

Course prerequisites: knowledge of OMOP CDM and Vocabularies and either 1) epidemiologic knowledge understanding of how to define cohorts or 2) R programming skills.

Faculty: Peter Rijnbeek, Jenna Reps, Ross Williams

   

OMOP Common Data Model Extract, Transform & Load

When: March 31th. 9:00-17:00

Faculty: Erica Voss, Clair Blacketer

Learn about best practices and OHDSI tools developed to help with designing an extract, transform, & load process to take your database from raw observational data to the OMOP Common Data Model.  Pre-requisite course would be the OMOP CDM & Vocabulary Tutorial or working experience with the OMOP CDM and OMOP Vocabulary.

Target Audience: Data holders, researchers, and regulators who want to learn more about the Extraction, Transformation, and Load process.

   

Cohort Building in OMOP CDM: Hands-on Experience

When: March 31th. 9:00-17:00

Faculty: Christian Reich, Patrick Ryan

This tutorial is intended for those that want to have some time to experience the OHDSI tools.

Target Audience: Data holders, researchers, and regulators who want to learn more about the OHDSI Tools
