Multicenter observational research could address many of those concerns, especially in hand surgery where multicenter research is currently quite limited; however, there are numerous barriers including regulatory issues, lack of common terminology, and variable data set structures. The Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) program aims to surmount these limitations by enabling large-scale, collaborative research across multiple institutions. The OHDSI uses the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (CDM) to standardize health care data into a common language, enabling consistent and reliable analysis. The OMOP CDM has been transformative in converting multiple databases into a standardized code with a single vocabulary, allowing for coherent analysis across multiple data sets. Building upon the OMOP CDM, OHDSI provides an extensive suite of open-source tools for all research stages, from data extraction to statistical modeling. By keeping sensitive data local and only sharing summary statistics, OHDSI ensures compliance with privacy regulations while allowing for large-scale analyses. For hand surgery, OHDSI can enhance research depth, understanding of outcomes, risk factors, complications, and device performance, ultimately leading to better patient care.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54815,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hand Surgery-American Volume","volume":"50 3","pages":"Pages 363-367"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142481274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
