WEEKLY MEETINGS
Weekly Community Call: Thank you to everybody who joined our 2021 kickoff call last week. We will continue to hold our community calls at the new time of 11 am ET on Tuesdays. Tomorrow’s format will include breakout sessions on three topics of interest within the community: 1) Establishing conventions for expanded use cases of the OMOP CDM (moderated by Sonia Araujo); 2) Methods research opportunities in patient-level predictions (moderated by Jenna Reps and Peter Rijnbeek); and 3) Phenotype development and evaluation (moderated by Juan Banda and Gotham Rao). The link to join the community call, as well as see recordings and slides from prior meetings, is available at https://www.ohdsi.org/ohdsi-community-calls/.
You can also access the call directly here.
We apologize to those of you who received some extra spam emails late last week. We are working out the issues, and we believe they are squared away. We will provide an update on the invite with additional information in due course, but please keep checking the forums, the community calls page listed above, and our MSTeams environment for continued information.

OHDSI SHOUTOUTS
Congratulations to Elena Roel, Talita Duarte-Salles and the entire CHARYBDIS team on this latest preprint, Characteristics and outcomes of 118,155 COVID-19 individuals with a history of cancer in the United States and Spain. The team is seeking community feedback, so please read it and offer your insights.
Talita also authored a chapter on the SIDIAP database in this new book, Databases for Pharmacoepidemiological Research. Great work by our 2020 Titan Award recipient for Community Collaboration!
The EHDEN Consortium recently released a new tool, CdmInspection, an R Package to support quality control inspection of an OMOP-CDM instance. Congrats to everybody involved in this work!
If you want to become more involved in EHDEN work (or you know somebody who could be interested), there is a software developer position open on Peter Rijnbeek’s team. Learn more about the position and get the application link here.
