The Belgian OHDSI Node was born spontaneously from the Belgian EHDEN community. After several members expressed their interest to form a Node, we organized a brief poll among Belgian EHDEN data partners, certified SMEs and their networks. This generated a lot of enthusiastic responses, not only from the current community, but also from aspiring data partners and several other stakeholders. In a short time, the Node had been established.
The Belgian OHDSI Node has a flat organizational structure, as it receives no funding and does not aspire to centralize tasks or services. Instead, it empowers its members to contribute to and to take advantage of a thriving Belgian OHDSI community.
The Node members realize that, in order to leverage health data to improve citizen health, we need an enabling foundation that is trustworthy for citizens and offers FAIR data with a clear governance model. Therefore, besides promoting Belgian participation in OHDSI network studies, the Node aims to contribute to a harmonized Belgian health data ecosystem that is aligned with the European OHDSI chapter and the European Health Data Space and specific national legislations. It takes a hands-on approach, focused on getting things done following the OHDSI open-source and open-science principles.
