Purpose and goal
Improve key conditions for accelerating the use of the international standard OMOP in Sweden.
The project will:
1) Form a multi-helix consortium of actors engaged for a multi-year collaboration.
2) Build an OMOP case for Sweden (target groups, use-cases, needs), and clarify OMOP´s value for the Swedish health data ecosystem.
3) Capture international/national expertise, experiences, best practices, and connect them to local initiatives, functions and regulations.
Expected effects and result
At the end of the project, the work will have led to:
A better picture of who wants, should and can implement OMOP in Sweden, and why these and other relevant target groups, and Sweden as a whole, should implement OMOP.
Sweden´s OMOP node should be in place, or being planned.
The project will have captured valuable experiences, best practices, solutions and advice from OMOP experts and users in the world and locally.
The conditions for developing an acceleration plan for increased use of OMOP in Sweden have improved.
Planned approach and implementation
The project has three working groups with clear deliverables. An experienced advisory panel has been created to provide insights and guidance. Key stakeholders and target groups will be attracted to the initiative and its vision through active networking, communication, events and meetings. Experiences from users and experts will be captured through literature studies, interviews and a survey. OMOP´s value proposition to target groups and Sweden as a nation will be documented by OMOP expertise
