WEEKLY COMMUNITY CALL MEETINGS
Please join us Tuesday, Oct. 4 (11 am ET) for another session of OHDSI Debates! Four members of the OHDSI community will join this call to take part in two debates, and you will help judge the winners!
Debate 1: Where should we focus OHDSI’s open-source development activities: Web-based front-ends to enable broader adoption vs. R package back-end development for advanced large-scale analytics
Debaters: Adam Black (Data Scientist, Odysseus Data Services, Inc.) vs. Jamie Gilbert (Manager in Epidemiology Analytics, Janssen Research & Development)
Debate 2: Strategy for OHDSI network studies: Get as many databases as possible vs. Get enough to answer the question quickly
Debaters: Erica Voss (Director, Janssen Research & Development) vs. Ed Burn (Senior Researcher in Epidemiology and Health Economics, University of Oxford)
Everybody is invited. Calendar invites for our 2022 community calls go out each Friday. If you did not receive one, please use this link to join the meeting. All recordings from these weekly meetings will be posted on both our main OHDSI Teams tenant and on our OHDSI.org Community Calls page.
