Knowledgebase (LAERTES) Workgroup
Objective: The objective of this workgroup (WG) is to establish an open-source standardized knowledge base for the effects of medical products and an efficient procedure for maintaining and expanding it. For a complete overview, please see the paper Bridging islands of information to establish an integrated knowledge base of drugs and health outcomes of interest. The WG's first contribution to OHDSI will be LAERTES (Largescale Adverse Effects Related to Treatment Evidence Standardization) – a system that integrates numerous sources of evidence useful for investigating the association of drugs and health into a single system. The system will extend the OHDSI Standard Vocabulary and provide for summary and drill down evidence review use cases. The first release of LAERTES is schedule for April 2015
