We’re part of the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) whose goal is to determine whether it is feasible and useful to analyze existing healthcare databases to identify and evaluate safety and benefit issues of drugs already on the market. We are working on the OMOP team to build and manage the computing environment, known as the OMOP Research Laboratory, and operate it for OMOP.
