William, Apologies, I won't be able to attend. Someone's slotted another meeting into my calendar.

I have a last minute room change, because I found a better one (e.g. some natural light, access to tea & coffee). It's now in Research Meeting Room 2, level 3, Smorgon Family Building, 13 St Andrews Pl, East Melbourne. When you come in the front entrance of Peter Mac, use the lifts opposite reception to go up to level 3. Go left out of the lifts, through past the lecture theatre and turn left again. You should be able to see all the way down the hall to the research tea room (through a couple of windowed doors), which you can recognise because there is some sunlight and a collection of nerds trying to look non-mainstream. As you go along the hallway, Research Meeting Room 2 is the first meeting room you come to. There are some doors that look all security-pass-protected, but they are decoys, push to open.

I am! So I am looking forward to escaping the nightmare for an hour this Friday at 3pm in the EDU Seminar Room 1 in Lower Level 1 at Peter Mac, 13 St Andrews Place. I hope to see you there! Agenda-wise, I'd like to fit in as many of the following as we have time for, but I'm also quite happy to chase another tangent entirely if anyone has something they'd like to share. A list: * Debrief from the SQL Server 2012 / Predixion Insight presentation: a month on, what still seems appealing? My issue (and possibly yours) is that we are stuck on SQL Server 2008 -- can we still do anything like what Nadav was demonstrating? I have chased up a few angles (e.g. using SSAS Data Mining directly, using open source tools like RapidMiner, Weka, Orange), but I'm interested in hearing what others think of the value of the activity and possible alternatives. * Demo Simon's Magic System Simon can't come, but I can demo the QlikView document he's been working with that integrates costing & revenue allocation in QlikView to give a foundation for understanding why our bottom line has the colour it does. NB: this is not a product of the Humanities department, so there is no discussion of the structural disadvantage to health agencies caused by the intersection of nihilistic materialism and neo-conservative economic rationalism. * Shadow funding for ABF - what's been achieved & can we collaborate to save some effort? * Genetic counselling clinics I met with Mary-Anne Young from our Familial Cancer Centre who are currently block funded, but now need to report something via the S10. Apparently there are similar services at RMH, Austin and Southern, and as yet no agreed standard for activity reporting. I'm interested to know if any of the other services have started working on a reporting approach. * CHADx - the phantom agenda item that lives at the bottom of the list, and refuses to die. I did do some work on this, and I can show you where it works and what looks dubious -- if the consensus is that there's something to be gained from this classification being workable, perhaps we can feed back to ACSQHC for a more tractable specification.
