Getting Started

Start Manual
  • Getting Started with OHSN – One page outlining steps for starting with OHSN.
  • Standard Occupational Data Architecture (SODA)  2.0
    The SODA is the OHSN dictionary of standard terms for personnel titles, department names, et cetera. It is meant to help make the mapping process easier (matching your hospital’s terms to those terms used in OHSN). It includes lists and descriptions of commonly used terms for healthcare locations/occupations and matches them to the corresponding OHSN term/code. It can be referenced while you are using the OHSN Conversion Tool to map your local terms to the OHSN “Common Language”.
