Lab Automation Product Catalog Standardizer with FHIR and OMOP Models

Integrating new lab products across clinical networks requires mapping hardware and reagent SKUs into standardized healthcare data schemas. You will build an automated mapping engine using Python, FHIR resources, and OMOP CDM to normalize vendor device payloads, achieving 95% mapping accuracy.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates FHIR resource generation validity and OMOP concept mapping accuracy.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

fhir_validity_check

Ensure output conforms to FHIR R4 Device schema

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

omop_concept_accuracy

Accuracy rate of matched OMOP concept IDs • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with
