Welcome to OHDSI Australia
The Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (or OHDSI, pronounced "Odyssey") program is a multi-stakeholder, interdisciplinary collaborative to bring out the value of health data through large-scale analytics. All our solutions are open-source. OHDSI Australia is a newly formed Australian chapter.
Background
The establishment of OHDSI Australia has been
facilitated by close cooperation with the Transformational Data
Collaboration (TDC)
https://www.machaustralia.org/nsli-data
The TDC is an
initiative under the auspices of the Australian Health Research
Alliance https://ahra.org.au/
Under the ‘Data
Integration’ priority area of the ‘AHRA Data Driven Healthcare’
activity stream. It has a singular goal:
“To utilise the unique open and
collaborative nature of AHRA to help develop and support national
data initiatives where an open, inclusive and non-competitive
environment is required.”
As such the aims of the AHRA TDC align
perfectly with the strategy of OHDSI Australia.
