About the Event

The ARDC invites you to our Data Integration Framework Workshop, where you can provide feedback on the draft framework for our Data Integration activity for health and medical research and discuss how the ARDC can best support this work into the future.

Through our People Research Data Commons for health and medical research, we are carrying out the Data Integration activity to empower researchers through national initiatives that integrate and standardise health data, building on our previous work to transform hospital electronic medical records (EMRs) into an international gold standard Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model Common Data Model (OMOP-CDM). As the first step, we’re developing a national framework that will outline opportunities for data contributors in research or healthcare to easily adopt common data models, ontologies and identifiers and join up data to increase its value.

At this workshop, we will discuss the framework and explore how the ARDC can further support data integration in the coming years. Read the draft framework.

Speakers

  • Associate Professor Graeme Hart, Clinical Informatics Academic Director, University of Melbourne

About the ARDC People Research Data Commons

The ARDC People Research Data Commons (People RDC) is delivering national-scale data infrastructure for health research and translation. It is a long-term program supported by the Australian Government.

Researchers, innovators and policymakers seek to improve health outcomes for society, and yet the data and digital platforms they need span multiple layers of government, health service operations, health research studies, institutes, facilities and the private sector. The People RDC initiative develops, operates and coordinates national-scale capabilities to support digital health research and translation.
