Advancing the Science of Healthcare Delivery

We believe healthcare data science should be open, reproducible, and accessible. Our research and open-source contributions advance the entire field.

OHDSI Partnership

Premier Partner

The Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) community is an international collaborative dedicated to generating reliable evidence from observational health data. With over 400 collaborators across 80+ countries, OHDSI maintains the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) — the gold standard for transforming disparate healthcare data into a unified, analyzable format.

Acumenus Data Sciences is a premier OHDSI partner, contributing both technical infrastructure and clinical expertise to the community. We actively participate in network studies, develop open-source tools that extend the OHDSI ecosystem, and help healthcare organizations adopt the OMOP CDM for research and operations.

Our commitment to OHDSI reflects our core belief: standardized data, open methods, and transparent analysis are the foundation of trustworthy healthcare evidence. Every platform we build speaks OMOP, and every engagement we deliver strengthens the network.

Our OHDSI Contributions

Production-hardened OHDSI Broadsea distribution with Python-based configurator for rapid ecosystem deployment.

Synthea2OMOP ETL Pipeline

Production-ready ETL for transforming Synthea synthetic patient data into the OMOP CDM for testing and validation.

Network Study Participation

Active participation in OHDSI network studies with standardized analytics packages and reproducible results.

Community Education

Helping academic medical centers and health systems adopt OHDSI tools through hands-on implementation support.

Data Quality Tooling

Contributing to data quality assessment workflows, vocabulary mapping validation, and CDM conformance testing.

Open Source

Open Source Contributions

All of our core platforms and research tools are released as open-source software. We believe transparency accelerates progress across the healthcare data community.

Case Study

Rare Disease Research

International Rett Syndrome Foundation (IRSF) Partnership

Rett syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder affecting approximately 1 in 10,000 females, caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene. Patients experience regression of acquired skills, loss of purposeful hand use, breathing irregularities, and seizures. Research is hampered by small, geographically dispersed patient populations and fragmented clinical data.

Acumenus partnered with the International Rett Syndrome Foundation to develop data infrastructure for natural history studies. By mapping the IRSF patient registry data to the OMOP Common Data Model, we enabled the foundation's research team to apply standardized analytics, define patient cohorts using ATLAS, and participate in OHDSI network studies alongside major academic medical centers.

This work demonstrates a replicable model for rare disease foundations: standardize your patient registry data to OMOP, leverage the open-source OHDSI toolchain, and unlock the same research capabilities available to the world's largest health systems — regardless of your organization's size.

Rare Disease OMOP CDM Natural History Study Patient Registry

"Working with Acumenus transformed our ability to conduct meaningful research. By standardizing our patient registry data to the OMOP Common Data Model, we gained access to a world-class analytics toolchain that we never could have built on our own. For the first time, our small foundation can participate in the same types of observational studies that major academic medical centers conduct."

Methodology

Real World Evidence

Generating actionable evidence from routine clinical data requires rigorous methodology, standardized data, and transparent analysis. We bring all three to every engagement.

Data Standardization

The foundation of reliable real-world evidence is high-quality, standardized data. We transform clinical, claims, and registry data into the OMOP Common Data Model, enabling reproducible analysis across institutions and data sources.

  • OMOP CDM mapping from EHR, claims, and registries
  • Vocabulary management and concept standardization
  • Data quality assessment with Achilles and DQD
  • ETL pipeline development and validation

Study Design & Execution

Rigorous observational study design using OHDSI best practices. We build cohort definitions in ATLAS, implement analytics using HADES R packages, and execute studies with full reproducibility and transparency.

  • Cohort definition and phenotype validation
  • Population-level estimation and causal inference
  • Patient-level prediction with validated models
  • Characterization studies and incidence rate analysis

Evidence Dissemination

Research that stays in a database doesn't improve patient care. We help translate findings into clinical action through publication support, stakeholder communication, and integration into decision support systems.

  • Study protocol registration and documentation
  • Manuscript preparation and publication support
  • Interactive evidence dashboards for stakeholders
  • CDS integration of research findings
