MSDW Data Model

MSDW ecosystem uses the OHDSI collaborative’s OMOP Common Data Model to facilitate optimal data sharing and interoperability both internally (at Mount Sinai) and externally with research partners. The clinical data are extracted from Mount Sinai’s Epic Caboodle database and other ancillary systems, transformed to the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) format, and loaded to the MSDW database. These data are updated daily.
