Weekly OHDSI Digest – June 16, 2025

WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETING
ATLAS month continues with our June 17 OHDSI Community Call (11 am ET) when we will focus on the concept set and cohort definition sections in the Atlas tool. Christopher Knoll (Director, Observational Health Data Analytics, Janssen Research and Development) and Richard Boyce (Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Informatics, University of Pittsburgh) will lead this session.

Thank you to all ATLAS users who completed the second of our weekly surveys (data sources and vocabularies). If you haven’t done so yet, please complete this to help build the future roadmap for ATLAS: ATLAS Survey #2.

Everybody is invited. If you do not have a calendar invite, please use this link to join the meeting. All recordings from these weekly calls are available within our Teams environment and will be posted on both our YouTube page and our OHDSI.org Community Calls page.
