The Book of OHDSI
Description :
&quotOHDI is a brilliant open-science effort that has established a
collaboration among more than 150 large organizations. Collectively
these organizations carry healthcare data for a staggering half billion
lives. OHDSI&#8217spi&#232cede r&#233sisance is its design of an
open data model that specifies strict coding, privacy and security

standards that all collaborators have agreed to adopt. The work
enables the unification of data from multiple sources to provide the
data mass, reproducibility testing and statistical power required by
analytics, especially those powered by AI methods. The OHDSI effort
has already produced novel approaches to large-scale data analyses
and answered important clinical questions. However, it is just
beginning, and much more remains to be done. The Book of OHDSI
will enable other organizations to add to the analytic ferment, and to
the data mass, needed to answer pressing analytic and clinical
questions.&quot- Clem McDonald, MD, Emeritus Indiana
Distinguished Professor of MedicineThe prevalence of electronic
health data provides us the opportunity to make decisions that
enhance both health and healthcare for both the present and future
generations. The Observational Health Data Sciences and
Informatics (OHDSI) collaboration is on the forefront of that
mission.Akin to Odysseus's arduous journey in Homer's epic poem,
OHDSI (pronounced &quotodysey&quot is establishing the
challenging path from real-world data to real-world evidence. The
OHDSI community, an international network of stakeholders from
varied disciplines, shares the singular goal of generating this
evidence in a collaborative setting.The Book of OHDSI provides the
roadmap to understand the journey. You will learn about the OHDSI
community and its tools, ranging from the OMOP Common Data
Model and Standard Vocabularies to large-scale analytic tools like
ATLAS and the Methods Library. You will learn our communitydetermined
best practices to generate quality evidence, and how our
methods allow the execution of high-quality, time-efficient research
in a network that includes more than 100 databases.The Book of
OHDSI is not meant to simply help you understand the journey. We
hope that when you learn our approach and see the benefits of
fusing collaboration with an always-evolving set of analytic tools,
you will choose to Join the Journey with us.
