Webinar: Leveraging the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model

Join us for a webinar with Claire Fellman D.V.M., Ph.D., DACVIM (SAIM), DACVCP:

Leveraging the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model to Support Uniform Antimicrobial Use Data Extraction and Reporting From Veterinary Medical Records

Antimicrobial use reporting is a key component of antimicrobial stewardship, but it is particularly challenging in veterinary settings. These challenges stem from the wide range of medical record systems in use and limited infrastructure for consistent data capture. In addition, the absence of shared metrics and reporting standards makes it difficult to compare available antimicrobial use data across veterinary institutions. This presentation will describe how the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) common data model can enable standardized antimicrobial use reporting and will examine factors associated with inpatient and outpatient antimicrobial use at Tufts veterinary hospitals using data from our OMOP data warehouse.

About the presenter:

Dr. Claire Fellman is an associate professor in the small animal internal medicine service at Tufts University. Claire earned her bachelor’s degree in biological engineering prior to her veterinary training at Mississippi State University. She then completed residencies in small animal internal medicine and clinical pharmacology also at Mississippi State University, while doing a PhD investigating the effects of cyclosporine on immune function in dogs. Following her residencies, Claire began her work at Tufts where she leads a One Health collaboration with physicians and pharmacists from Tufts Medical Center with the goal to bring successful antimicrobial stewardship strategies from human medicine to companion animal veterinary settings. Claire is the President of the International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases (ISCAID) and serves on the leadership team of the recently formed Companion Animal Antimicrobial Stewards (CAAMS) ISCAID committee. Claire’s clinical interests include infectious and immune-mediated diseases.

About the AVI Webinar Series: The purpose of the AVI Webinar Series is to provide a vendor-agnostic forum for education and networking. Join us to learn from academic, industry, and government organizations who are using information technology and data science to improve the lives of animals and veterinary healthcare teams.
