Howdy!

I was working on something similar at work and was wondering if maybe we can contribute to this repo.

I'm pretty new to dbt and Synthea, but willing to help where I can :)

One thing that helps is to document the source/staging models and generate schema documentation which can then be hosted on GitHub pages.

Thanks for your time.

@katy-sadowski @leeevans - This is awesome to see coming together.

Our entire ELT from our multiple EPR sources into OMOP has been done using dbt and the docs are published here https://omop-lsc.surge.sh/. Our poster on this work at the Global OHDSI Symposium 2023 can be viewed here -> https://www.ohdsi.org/2023showcase-20/

While this work does not necessarily transfer to other places, we have learnt a lot through this experience and happy to share our learnings as well as learn from this work.

We are currently working on our OMOP medallion architecture - essentially taking our OMOP instance through bronze, silver and gold layers - with silver serving direct care needs and gold serving research needs. This maybe useful for others but this is very early work still -> https://github.com/lsc-sde/dbt_omop_rxn_silver/

Looking forward to seeing more dbt related work within OHDSI.
