OHDSI Boston — real-world health evidence, generated in the open
A Boston-area community coordinates reproducible health studies across institutions without moving patient-level data.
Field notes
The homepage frames research as a repeatable loop rather than a one-off publication: questions become protocols, code travels to participating systems, and sites return aggregate outputs. Its technical boundary is explicit: institutions use the OMOP Common Data Model, run analyses locally, and keep patient-level records in place. The page also names cohorts, outcomes, analysis, and diagnostics as inspectable components, while inviting patients, clinicians, engineers, researchers, and potential data partners to participate.
