Learn about extracting EHR data with OMOP on Oct. 25

Thursday, October 25, 2018

11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Weill Cornell Library Surface Hub

1300 York Avenue, New York, NY

Hosted by the Clinical & Translational Science Center

  

Special feature: OMOP and You

Join us at the Library Surface hub for the CTSC ARCH Workshop this Thursday! In addition to demos of i2b2 and REDCap from 11-11:30 and 11:30-12 (respectively), we’ll also be offering the opportunity to learn more about the OMOP Common Data Model, an exciting new opportunity for technically-inclined researchers to run SQL queries against a limited data set that has been transformed from its raw state into a data model designed to facilitate clinical and translational research. OMOP is a powerful tool with a steep learning curve, but for those willing to put in the effort to learn, it can enable direct access to massive amounts of data from the EHR.

Workshop schedule

  • i2b2 from 11:00 – 11:30 am
  • REDCap from 11:30 – 12:00 pm
  • Biostatistics from 12:00 – 12:30 pm

Architecture for Research Computing in Health (ARCH) matches investigators with tools and services to obtain electronic patient data to recruit patients, conduct chart reviews, apply for grants, and test hypotheses.  ARCH tools and services include: 

 

  • REDCap/SUPER REDCap – Collect novel measures from participants, annotate existing data from Epic/Allscripts, export data directly to SAS or R, and populate case report forms with data pulled directly from EHR systems
  • i2b2 – Obtain patient counts directly from the EHR, answering questions like “How many patients had a colonoscopy in 2015?” or “How many patients with diabetes have also had an amputation?”
  • EHR reporting – Get detailed, patient-level data on a one-time or recurring basis from Epic/Allscripts

 

For more information, please visit http://arch.weill.cornell.edu. ARCH receives financial support from New York-Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) and Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC), including the Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) (UL1 TR000457-06) and Joint Clinical Trials Office (JCTO).

Workshops: 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on LAST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH

If you’re used to coming to the workshop for help with i2b2 and/or REDCap, don’t despair! Help will still be available in the form of office hours. CTSC and/or ARCH personnel will be available every Thursday between 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. to provide one-on-one assistance with these tools to anyone in need. To reserve an “office hours” slot, please email arch-support@med.cornell.edu by 5 p.m. the Wednesday before the day you’d like to stop by.
