Hi again,
Tracey has kindly pointed out the clash with the upcoming HDSS forum on 15
June: my guess is that many of us will be going to that to know what is
expected post July 1.
I don't think I can handle two events in one day -- I think it might be better
to reschedule to the following week on 22 June. Does this work better or worse
for anyone?
Kind regards,

Hi all,
Thanks again to Jenny Smith for organising and hosting last Friday's meeting.
It would appear that a nice view and better provisions do help in rallying the
troops, too!
It was good to see how the Mercy are rolling out Qlikview and how it can be
used: I am still trying to work out how we might use it in an environment with
a lot of existing Crystal reports, and recently some cubes.
Next month's meeting is 15th of June, currently at 3pm at Peter Mac.
Peter Davey suggested we try to get someone from Microsoft to demo the key
features of SQL 2012, as there are quite a few hospitals doing the Sharepoint +
PerformancePoint + PowerPivot + SQL 2012 as their next phase.
If we do this, and I think it would be good, my preference is to get them
(Microsoft) to tailor their spiel a bit: previously I've gone to longish
presentations from them about "BI" only to hear about a bunch of stuff that's
not really relevant to health (e.g. clickstream analysis, data centre
licences). Because I'm not too sure they will be able to do this from their
pre-sales team, it might be worth going to a partner.
At the DG2012 conference I had a good chat to Nadav Rayman, who works for
BizData -- a Microsoft partner that do BI work, and like to sponsor health
conferences. To add to general SQL Server knowledge, they also distribute
Predixion Insight, a predictive analytics package that is built on Excel 2012 /
PowerPivot / Analysis Services, and it makes it somewhat easier to use the
association, classification and regression features.
I can have a talk to Nadav to see if he can do a health-focussed Microsoft BI /
analytics demo to show of some of the new features. He is a technical person,
rather than just a salesman, so it should be a bit more detailed. Or we can go
straight to Microsoft (Chris Vidutto / Simon Kos) to ask them to suggest
someone.
An alternative is if one of you who are planning to move to this technology
soon wants to work something up in house, we can see the tool with realistic
data, and without the vendor. I think this worked really well last Friday with
Jenny's Qlikview demo, so any volunteers most welcome.
Some other topics: I've had an initial crack at the CHADx coding, and come up
with a bunch of rules and even more questions. I'm keen to share this work with
the group to get your advice on some of the issues and also to see where it
might be useful to others. We should also know a bit more about ABF, but the
pressure is off there now that DH are going to continue with existing funding
models largely unchanged for next year.
Other topics also welcome!
Kind regards,
William Rose
