Here is a link to a recording of the meeting: recording.

Topics

  • Robert Miller shared and explained his code to convert NAACCR flat file-formatted data to the input format necessary for the generic ETL SQL. See here generic ETL SQL here.
  • Michael Gurley shared and explained his code to convert the data model from the popular tumor registry software Elekta METRIQ to the input format necessary for the generic ETL SQL.
  • Andrew Miller and Maxim Moinat raised the issue of whether folks coming from non-NAACCR sources should map their tumor characteristics to the NAACCR vocabulary. Michael Gurley argued folks should map to NAACCR so we can make tumor registry and non-registry comparable. Michael Gurley pointed out the problem arises that just saying that we should pick the “standard” tumor concept for each tumor characteristic runs into the “Choose Your Own Adventure” problem that OMOP contains multiple “standard” concepts for the same semantic unit.
  • The two-day OHDSI Oncology hackathon on August 21st and 22nd was re-announced. Details will be emailed to all members of the OHDIS Oncology Workgorup.
