Abstract

In 2015, the VA Informatics and Computing Infrastructure, a resource center of the Department of Veterans Affairs, began to transform parts of its Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW) into the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership) Common Data Model for use by its research and operations communities.
