athena

is an Aggregator.

It is part of the OMOP collection.

Athena is the OHDSI (Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics) standardized vocabulary repository that provides access to standardized terminologies and vocabularies for observational healthcare data. It includes SNOMED CT, RxNorm, LOINC, ICD codes, and many other standard vocabularies, along with mappings between them. Athena enables the transformation of healthcare data into the OMOP Common Data Model format for federated research across multiple healthcare systems. Access to vocabulary selection and download workflows is mediated through the Athena web application rather than stable public download URLs.

Athena

Overview

Athena is the OHDSI (Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics) standardized vocabulary repository that provides access to standardized terminologies and vocabularies for observational healthcare data.

It includes major healthcare terminologies such as SNOMED CT, RxNorm, LOINC, ICD-10, ICD-9CM, CPT, and many others, along with comprehensive mappings between them. Athena is essential for transforming healthcare data into the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) format.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive Vocabularies: 100+ standardized terminologies and code systems
  • Concept Mappings: Extensive mappings between different terminology systems
  • OMOP CDM Support: Vocabularies formatted for OMOP Common Data Model
  • Regular Updates: Frequent updates to maintain currency with source vocabularies
  • Account-Based Access: Vocabulary selection and download workflows are handled through the Athena web application
  • Concept Search: Advanced search capabilities across all vocabularies

Integrated Vocabularies

Athena includes:

  • Clinical terminologies (SNOMED CT, ICD-10, ICD-9CM, CPT)
  • Drug vocabularies (RxNorm, NDC, ATC)
  • Laboratory codes (LOINC)
  • Procedure codes (CPT, HCPCS, ICD-10-PCS)
  • Observation codes (UCUM, READ)
  • And many more specialized vocabularies

Products

Athena Vocabulary Browser

Web-based interface for searching, browsing, and exploring standardized vocabularies and their relationships. Athena is exposed as an authenticated web application rather than as a stable set of public direct-download URLs.

Vocabulary Downloads

Downloadable vocabulary bundles in CSV format for local implementation in OMOP CDM databases. In practice, these are selected and prepared within the logged-in Athena interface, so the registry points to the Athena entry page rather than to a stable file URL.

Concept Mappings

Cross-vocabulary mappings enabling interoperability between different terminology systems. As with vocabulary downloads, Athena exposes these through the web application workflow rather than stable public file links.
