Hi I agree that the group would be able to contribute a lot of value. Could I however suggest a 3:30 start?

I’ll be there on the 20th any of the suggested times work for me. I’m happy to talk about where we are up to (we are in the midst of implementing a DWH in SQL Server with QlikView as our main reporting tool) – but would think that might be more interesting once we’ve got a bit further along. We too have three months to get all our key dashboards delivered.

I got a couple of out-of-office notifications after yesterday's email, so I'm hoping it's working. Our next meeting is on April 20th. I've had some requests for an earlier timeslot: room-wise there's a choice of 1:30, 3:30 or 4:00 start on Friday 20th. Perhaps let me know what time suits when you reply to the list. The Data Governance Conference last week had some interesting topics come up that might be interesting to the group: * Funnel plots and statistical process control charts to help separate normal variation from abnormal situations that require investigation. * Suggestions of ways to better match patients than simple surname / given name / date of birth rules. * Using data mining to help identify the key data items in a collection that influence a particular metric, and hence what is important to get right. I haven't had anyone put their hand up yet to talk at the next session: I want to dob in Chris MacManus, because he's been given the unenviable task of getting some key dashboards delivered in three months, starting from zero, and I think it would be interesting to hear how it's going to happen (Chris Bain -- you might like to come with popcorn). Chris MacManus is on leave right now, though, so I might be stretching the friendship there. Anthony -- perhaps you could spend some time expanding on possible initiatives that could go beyond just tips & tricks. I know my CFO is keen for me to find a way to manage the reconciliation of inter-hospital balances, and I'd suggested this could be done based on a pre-submission cross-check of the various agencies' F1 returns. This might be an easy project to try out some collaborative work on. I'm sure there are lots more, though, so perhaps you can lead a discussion around this? If anyone has a good tool / technique for doing patient matching to the registry of births, deaths & marriages, or the Cancer Registry, I'm interested to hear about that too. Any other takers?
