The suitability of the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) common data model (CDM) for Austrian pseudonymized claims data from social security institutions and information about hospital stays is evaluated. 1,023 (99.7%) of ATC codes and 3,695 (98.6%) of ICD10 codes coincide with the OMOP vocabulary. Mappings for the local vocabularies like the Austrian pharmaceutical registration numbers, the Socio-Economic Index and professional groups, to the OMOP vocabulary do not exist. A standardization with the OMOP CDM is possible, however an initial, not negligible effort is required to adapt and incorporate the vocabulary.
