Translating from OMOP to FHIR Bridges the Gap in EHR Data
Translate from OMOP to FHIR to bridge the gap between
Palantir developed an OMOP-to-FHIR connector to facilitate data translation between electronic health record formats.
Summary
The solution enables flexible conversion between OMOP and FHIR, allowing researchers and clinicians to access healthcare data in formats familiar and valuable to them. This bridges the gap between Real World Evidence (RWE) workflows and operational clinical processes.
Key Players
Details
This capability is essential for healthcare organizations managing Electronic Health Record (EHR) data, as it provides flexibility between two widely used but structurally different Clinical Data Management (CDM) systems: OMOP and FHIR. Historically, the differing formats created a barrier, making it difficult for users familiar with one standard to easily utilize data structured by the other. The OMOP-to-FHIR mapping facilitates this conversion using templated Foundry transforms. One large medical research agency successfully utilized this approach to collect EHR data from multiple hospitals, converting it first to OMOP and then to FHIR for use in various RWE and clinical workflows. A key advantage is its rapid deployment; the solution can be redeployed within hours or days rather than requiring months of development time. While some loss of fidelity exists between the two formats, it provides a strong basis for understanding the data and allows for further refinement.
