Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP)

The Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (CDM) enables the capture of patient information in an identical way across departments, institutions, and research partners worldwide. Currently, more than 800 million patients have part of their data in the common OMOP model. The transformation of clinical and administrative data into a common model allows organizations to use common analytic tools designed for the common format and exchange research questions against the OMOP data with other organizations. This allows research of a much larger population than any one organization is capable of.

In 2022, UT Southwestern embarked on the OMOP transformation process and joined the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (ODHSI) network. Once this transformation is complete, access to the network will become available through the Informatics Coordinating Office.
