The Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model (OMOP-CDM) unlocks research potential far beyond what an EHR system alone can provide, transforming raw clinical data into a standardized, analytics-ready format that supports large-scale, high-impact studies. By harmonizing data using a well-maintained suite of medical ontologies cross-mapped via OMOP vocabularies, network partners easily switch from local coding schemas to common international standards (e.g., ICD10CM or ICD10CN to SNOMED; RxNorm to ATC; SNOMED to LOINC; ICD9PCS to CPT4). The incorporation of vocabularies alongside high-quality evidence generation supported by community-tested analytic tools (e.g., Data Quality Dashboard, ATLAS, HADES) facilitates cross-institutional collaboration among an international community of OMOP implementers.

International collaboration among network partners has resulted in regulatory-grade research, sometimes comparable to randomized controlled trials, and streamlined participation in federally funded research (e.g., NIH and EU-funded initiatives such as EHDEN), significantly reducing manual data wrangling and redundant efforts. These capabilities are crucial at times when the medical community seeks increased efficiency.

Continued investment in the OMOP CDM by [Institution Name] is essential to leverage influential collaborations, support ongoing and future research initiatives, and strategically align with national and international standards and funding opportunities. Key supporting factors include:
