WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETING
Please join us Tuesday, July 2 (11 am ET), for our annual “Meet New Members of the OHDSI Community” session. Some of our newest collaborators will have the opportunity to introduce themselves, share their professional journey and discuss how they hope to impact the OHDSI community. We hope you join this session to either help welcome some potential future collaborators, or introduce yourself and start your own journey within OHDSI.
Everybody is invited. Calendar invites went out last week. If you did not receive one, 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.

Upcoming Workgroup Calls – OHDSI
OHDSI SHOUTOUTS
Congratulations to the team of Gyunam Park, Yaejin Lee, and Minsu Cho on the publication of Enhancing healthcare process analysis through object-centric process mining: Transforming OMOP common data models into object-centric event logs in the Journal of Biomedical Informatics.
OHDSI UPDATES
The latest edition of the OHDSI newsletter is now available. It includes information on the OHDSI Evidence Network, LLMs in the evidence generation process, the latest collaborator spotlight with Sarah Seager, recent publications and presentations, community updates and more.
• To carry out the OHDSI mission, we need an active and willing global network of data partners, and we need the ability to quickly identify those that might be the right fit for a specific clinical research question. Last year we piloted this effort through the Save our Sisyphus challenge and are now ready to move forward based on our learnings. The OHDSI Evidence Network workgroup is excited to initiate a network study that will describe the OHDSI Network in a publication, and will also create an open public resource designed to facilitate evidence generation faster and better than ever by building on methodologies developed by thought leaders around the world. You can access the protocol here, and you can learn more about this effort from a recent OHDSI Evidence Network update. Come join us on this exciting journey!
• The workshop on “AI for Reliable and Equitable Real-World Evidence Generation in Medicine” at the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME) will take place on July 9, 2024 at Salt Lake City, Utah. The workshop focuses on advancing the understanding and exploring the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in analyzing real-world data (RWD) for real-world evidence (RWE) generation. Speakers and panelists from informatics, biostatistics, computer science, and related fields across academic institutions, federal agencies, and healthcare providers will be joining us for the workshop.
