+## JuliaHealth's Tools for Patient-Level Predictions: Strengthening Capacity and Innovation

+
+**Summary:** Working with the OMOP CDM (Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model) involves handling large datasets that require a set of tools for extracting necessary data efficiently for various analyses.
+The first part of the project focused on improving JuliaHealth's infrastructure by increasing the range of tools available to users.
+This involved enabling connections to various databases and working with building understanding on how to robustly work with observational health data.
+The second goal was to leverage the capacity built in the previous phase to develop a comprehensive framework for patient-level prediction.
+This framework explored how to predict patient cohort outcomes with given treatments and was tested on the [MIMIC III dataset](https://physionet.org/content/mimiciii/1.4/) that was converted to the OMOP CDM.

+
+**Fellowship core accomplishments:**
+
+The [PR](https://github.com/JuliaHealth/OMOPCDMCohortCreator.jl/pull/54) for OMOPCDMCohortCreator added new features:
+
+- Enriched OMOPCDMCohortCreator tools
+- Intensive tests for new functions
+- Updated the documentation
+
+The [PR](https://github.com/JuliaDatabases/DBConnector.jl/pull/13)
+for DBConnector
+
+- Created a documentation
+- Rewired tools used to connect to SQLite,postgresql, MySQL
+- Created test unit
+
+This Jupyter notebook shows the flow of creating a prediction model from OMOP CDM using developed packages through the program.
+You can find it on juliahealth website - the tutorial section.
