We will demonstrate expanded functionality to workflow and tools through a new example use case, 8:00am-12:30pm.
HADES Hackathon: HADES Developer Tutorial & Hackathon: HADES (Health-Analytics Data-to-Evidence Suite) is the set of R packages used in most OHDSI studies. At the hackathon, we’ll provide developers with a tutorial on working with HADES and will work in small teams on the HADES codebase to fix problems and add improvements. Anyone interested in helping out with HADES, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, is encouraged to join us, 8:00am-3:30pm.

We’ll kick off with presentations/panels showcasing recent advancements in the field. A significant portion of the session will be dedicated to open discussions surrounding the collaborative development of clinical information extraction tools within the OHDSI community. We’ll delve into challenges, best practices, and opportunities for contribution. Finally, we’ll provide updates on three ongoing research studies that are leveraging NLP for real-world evidence generation. This session is designed to foster collaboration, spark new ideas, and accelerate the progress of utilizing NLP within the OHDSI community, 10:30am-12:30pm.
Oncology: We will continue the work on assessment and improvement on the oncology data in OMOP. More details to come in the near future, 8:00am-12:30pm.
