Article Synopsis
- The study examines how converting electronic medical records (EMRs) into the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model (OMOP-CDM) improves the ability to analyze health data for research and policy-making.
- The OMOP-CDM standardizes health data by harmonizing terminologies and coding systems, enhancing research capacity with shared analytical techniques and enabling drug safety surveillance across multiple regions.
- The research faced challenges in mapping free-text EMR terms to standard vocabularies, necessitating manual assignment for frequently appearing terms while ensuring over 95% of records are linked to an approved vocabulary like SNOMED.
