[ AS DATA HOLDER ]
Get involved as a Data Holder
Organisations managing health data play a central role in the European real-world evidence ecosystem. OHDSI Europe supports data holders in exploring OMOP implementation, connecting with peers, and positioning their data within a federated research network — while maintaining full governance and control over their data.
A typical pathway
Step 1
Explore
Assess how OMOP and federated analytics align with your organisational strategy and technical environment.
Engage with peers who have already implemented the model.
Step 2
Prepare
Develop internal readiness by identifying technical leads, reviewing ETL approaches,
and using structured implementation resources from EHDEN Academy and the OHDSI toolstack.
Step 3
Engage
Connect with the broader European data partner community, share implementation experience,
and remain informed about collaborative study initiatives.
ℹ️
OHDSI Europe facilitates connection and coordination. Participation in specific studies depends on
individual study teams and defined inclusion criteria. Data holders retain full sovereignty over
their data at all times.
