@stephanieshong wrote some helpful text for new RWD blurbs that may be better rolled into the main text of ch 3 as it is OMOP-focused:

"Harmonized EHR data is organized by key domains such as condition, procedure, measurement, and drug_exposure. Clinical events are standardized using SNOMED CT codes, laboratory results are harmonized with LOINC codes and medication concepts are aligned using RxNorm codes. This comprehensive standardization ensures consistency and interoperability across diverse data sources, enhancing the FAIR ( Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles and enabling seamless integration and analysis of health information. The CDM data is harmonized using a specific version of the vocabulary release. It is essential to ensure that all data is consistently harmonized using the same version of the vocabulary when working with the RWD."

@oneilsh, did you want me to add this? If so, will you tell me the exact location?
