| description | Map OpenMed-extracted, terminology-coded conditions, drugs, and measurements into OMOP CDM v5.4 clinical tables (condition_occurrence, drug_exposure, measurement) for OHDSI/ATLAS analytics. Use when the user wants to load NLP-derived facts into an OMOP database, build an OHDSI ETL from clinical notes, populate condition_occurrence or drug_exposure from text, or standardize note-derived findings to OMOP standard concepts. Covers the source-to-standard concept mapping pattern, required vs optional CDM fields, type concepts for NLP-derived rows, and the user-supplied OHDSI vocabulary (CONCEPT/CONCEPT_RELATIONSHIP). Consumes coded OpenMed analyze_text output (after SNOMED/RxNorm/LOINC linking) and produces OMOP-conformant rows. |

ETL to OMOP CDM
The OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) is the OHDSI standard for observational health
data. This skill maps OpenMed-derived clinical facts — entities from
analyze_text that you have already linked to a source terminology — into the
OMOP clinical event tables condition_occurrence, drug_exposure, and
measurement. The NLP runs on-device; OMOP loading is a downstream,
deterministic transform.
When to use this skill
After you have (a) extracted entities with OpenMed and (b) coded them to a
source vocabulary (ICD-10-CM / SNOMED for conditions, RxNorm for drugs, LOINC
for labs — see the linking skills). Use this skill to turn those coded facts
into OMOP rows. It is not a clinical NER skill and not a code-linking skill;
it assumes both are done.
Quick start
import openmed
note = "Assessment: type 2 diabetes mellitus. Started metformin 500 mg PO BID. HbA1c 8.2%."
result = openmed.analyze_text(note, output_format="dict")
fact = {
"person_id": 1001,
"domain": "Condition",
"source_code": "E11.9",
"source_vocabulary": "ICD10CM",
"source_concept_id": 45533010,
"standard_concept_id": 201826,
"start_date": "2024-03-12",
"char_span": (fact_start, fact_end),
}
OpenMed never ships UMLS/SNOMED/RxNorm/LOINC content. You supply the OHDSI
vocabulary bundle (Athena download) and do the lookups under your own
license. OpenMed provides the spans and labels.
The source → standard pattern (the heart of OMOP)
Every clinical event row carries two concept ids:
*_source_concept_id — the OHDSI CONCEPT for your original code (e.g. the
ICD-10-CM or RxNorm code your linking step produced).
*_concept_id — the standard concept, obtained by following
CONCEPT_RELATIONSHIP.relationship_id = 'Maps to' from the source concept.
Conditions standardize to SNOMED, drugs to RxNorm, measurements to
LOINC. If no mapping exists, set the standard id to 0.
Domain → table → fields
See references/omop_cdm_v5_4_fields.md for the full per-table field list. Core
mapping by OpenMed entity domain:
| OpenMed entity domain | OMOP table | Standard vocab | Key date / value fields |
|---|
| Disease / Condition | condition_occurrence | SNOMED | condition_start_date, optional condition_end_date |
| Drug / Medication | drug_exposure | RxNorm | drug_exposure_start_date, drug_exposure_end_date, quantity, sig |
| Lab / Measurement | measurement | LOINC | measurement_date, value_as_number, unit_concept_id, value_as_concept_id |
Type concepts: mark rows as NLP-derived
Every event row needs a *_type_concept_id recording provenance. For facts
derived from clinical text, OHDSI uses the type concept 32831 "EHR episode
record" / "Note" family — specifically prefer a "...from note" /
"NLP"-flavored standard type concept from the Type Concept vocabulary in
your bundle. Do not invent ids; resolve the type concept against the vocabulary
you loaded so cohort builders can filter NLP-derived rows.
Workflow
- Extract & code.
analyze_text → entities; link each to a source code
(linking skills). Resolve source_concept_id and the 'Maps to' standard
concept from your Athena vocabulary.
- Resolve dates. Attach start (and end, where known) dates per
building-patient-timelines. OMOP date fields are DATE; keep the matching
*_datetime only if you truly have a time.
- Assign
person_id. Join to your person table by an internal key — not
by any PHI string. De-identify upstream.
- Build rows with required keys, the source+standard concept pair, the
NLP type concept, and a unique surrogate
*_occurrence_id /
*_exposure_id / measurement_id.
- Stage
*_source_value (the raw surface string, after de-id) for QA
traceability — but never put raw PHI there.
- Conform & validate. Run OHDSI Achilles/DataQualityDashboard on
the loaded CDM before analytics.
Hand-off to / from OpenMed
- From OpenMed:
analyze_text entities (offsets + labels), deidentify
upstream, and the per-domain linking skills (linking-umls-concepts,
normalizing-rxnorm, mapping-loinc, mapping-to-snomed,
coding-icd10).
- To OHDSI: loaded
condition_occurrence / drug_exposure / measurement
rows are consumed by ATLAS, Achilles, and cohort definitions — and by
computing-ecqms for measure denominators/numerators.
Edge cases & gotchas
- No license bundling. OpenMed does not include SNOMED/RxNorm/LOINC/UMLS.
Download the OHDSI vocabularies from Athena and run lookups under your own
agreement. This is a hard rule.
- Unmapped → standard concept 0. When
'Maps to' yields nothing, set
*_concept_id = 0 and keep the source ids. Never fabricate a standard id.
- Domain routing follows the standard concept's domain, not the source
code's apparent type. An ICD-10 code can map to a SNOMED concept whose
domain_id is Observation or Measurement — load it into the table the
standard concept dictates.
- NLP rows are lower-assurance. Tag them with the NLP/
from note type
concept and carry confidence (e.g. in a companion table) so analysts can
threshold. Don't silently mix them with structured EHR rows.
- Dates are required and must be valid. Undated note facts can't populate a
*_start_date; route them to your "needs review" staging, not into the CDM
with a placeholder date.
measurement units and values. Parse value_as_number + unit (mapped
to a unit_concept_id); for qualitative results use value_as_concept_id.
