Application area OHDSI Germany
Vision
Founded in spring 2021, OHDSI Germany is part of the global OHDSI community and belongs to OHDSI Europe. We bring together experts in medicine and informatics from research and industry in Germany to form an interdisciplinary and cross-industry interest and working group.
Our goal is to empower nationally active clinicians and researchers to develop innovative procedures and use the experience gained to participate in international studies of the OHDSI network. To this end, we offer a forum for the discussion of ideas, the presentation and exchange of tools and methods. We also see OHDSI Germany as a platform for working together on new research questions.
We work closely with other OHDSI working groups and share best practices in order to learn from each other. I Anyone interested is cordially invited to attend our monthly OHDSI Germany meeting.
