Examination of the coverage of functional assessments in the OMOP common data model

Abstract

Background High-value care aims to enhance meaningful patient outcomes while reducing costs. Curating data across healthcare systems with common data models (CDMs) would help these systems move towards high-value healthcare. However, meaningful patient outcomes, such as function, must be represented in commonly used CDMs, such as Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Model (OMOP). Yet the extent that functional assessments are included in the OMOP CDM is unclear.
