OMOP Database

FLIP requires data from all participating Trusts to be stored in a standardised format so that a single query can be federated between the sites to generate a cohort of data. Aggregate statistics are returned as results on the platform and, if and when the project is approved, the underlying data at each site will be retrieved and provided for local model training.

The Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (CDM) has been selected as the format for standardised data storage, so the database in each Trust’s local instance FLIP is commonly referred to as the OMOP Database or OMOP.

To prepare the standardised data to be ingested into each Trust’s OMOP Database, resources are provided during the onboarding stage.
