Vocabularies, Concept Sets, Value Sets, External Standards -- Temporary Study Group

  • Objective:
    • Convene as a temporary study group to learn and discuss external standards and tools relevant to OHDSI's Vocabulary System and Concept Sets
  • Motivations (and potentially interested parties):
    • The Architecture Working Group has started to consider API specifications for Concept Sets
      • We lack sufficient knowledge to determine the costs or benefits of attempting to accommodate or synchronize with standards and efforts beyond OHDSI
      • The (currently suspended) Vocabulary-Visualization Working Group and people working on vocabulary system interfaces should not proceed while Concept Set specifications are liable to significant change
    • The FHIR Working Group has yet to establish guidelines on mapping or interfacing between OHDSI and FHIR vocabulary and value set services
    • The CDM Working Group and the OHDSI collaborator community at large must consider whether and when and how our standards and tools interoperate with those in other domains that depend on electronic health data
