On the call: Rob, Peter, Mark, Alice

1) ) Send Mark a copy of UCSF's IRB for (ICD-10 and ICU Outcomes).

2) Mark wants prep of research by loading discharge summaries and run it himself for early concept testing.  That way he can demo to Finance.

3) Prakash working SHRINE interface for Appliance.  Still some problem with SHRINE Topic.

4) Ketty's Anti-hypertensives are now on BioPortal.  Getting Meds into NCBO is now possible.  Design query hierarchy.  Use NCBO HOM features to merge that meds dictionary with another EPIC meds hierarchy.  How about the VA meds hierarchy (terms are the same)?  Mark will write up cross institutional queries on meds for finding meds of interest.

5) Rob and Ketty giving demo at ICBO in 2 weeks or so.

3/27/12

On the call: Rob, Prakash, Mark, Alice, Ketty

2) Letter of Support from UPenn for our funders.

3) Prakash has been getting our SHRINE node up and running fully.  Going well.  Also working on SOW for our Puppet engineer for SHRINE configuration.

4) Ketty is working on the ICD-10 detail code HOM map.

5) Rob is working on re-entrance of the UETL code.

2/28/2012

On the call: Rob Wynden, Ketty Mobed, Prakash Lakshminarayanan, Hillari Allen, Peter Beninato, Mark Weiner

1) Mark getting IRB approval for UPenn for the Appliance

2) ICD-9 to ICD-10 Procedure mapping is completed by Ketty

3) Prakash completed the port to InfiniDB.

4) Prakash is installing PM Cell now.

5) Prakash will test the SHRINE cell with the Harvard test data

6) Mark met with 3M in Salt Lake last week.  They hired 3M to do mapping for them for HDD (Health Data Dictionary) and mapped UPenn's medication data and SunRise data and translated it to HDD.  Then mapped to RxNorm for them.  3M is thinking of open sourcing the HDD.

7) Mark wants to take the 3M maps (all in 1 self referential table leading to drug terms) and render that as an i2b2 ontology.  Then they can use it for queries of the in-patient data.  Then RxNorm data can be structured by drug class.

8) Hillari finishing testing on ProxyGen

9) Peter is working on cross training folks on ETL.  Also working on encounters now.

...

2/21/2012
On the call: Rob, Hillari, Bob, Prakash, Peter

1) Hillari continues with the ProxyGen testing.  Final load test for ProxyGen is pretty good.  It slows at the 50 user interval for 1000 MRNs.

2) Peter is mapping from the GPI (Medispan ID for drugs) in EPIC.

3) Prakash just finished the codebase for the port to InfiniDB.  He is loading the demo data now and deploying cells.

On the call: Rob Wynden, Mark W, Alice L, Bob, Hillari, Peter B

1) We talked about the Appliance project

2) OSHPD Site announcement

3) Hillari is not getting QA done because central IT is pretty slow.  No automated testing is available at present.

4) We talked about mapping to GPI from RxNorm and the troubles in achieving that.  Peter B is very interested in that upgrade to the RxNorm map

5) 1.602 seems to be fairly stable (Peter B).  Although the feedback from the field looks like large scale deployment may not be stable.

...

1/10/2012
On the call: Rob Wynden, Bob Hink, Peter B, Alice L, Mark W
1) Peter is looking at 1.6.02 and looks pretty funny.  Query re-use is messed up.  Boolean operators work for some sites and not for others.

2) OHSU and UPenn interested in the appliance.

3) UPenn is stalled for a bit.  They are busy and interested in the appliance.

4) ProxyGen has not yet been pushed through QA.  Hillari is just now starting to load her test software onto the server.

...

1/3/2012
On the call: Rob, Peter, Mark, Alice

1) Last week we had no call for the holidays ... this week is expected to be very light

...

4) At UPenn, meds from in patient and outpatient dictionaries translated into other standardized meds ... work done with 3M.  3M did a proof of concept there.  Interested in working with HOM on this too.  Would require a license to the dictionary from 3M but that's fine on BioPortal now.  The 3M dictionary is called the "HDD". A self-referential table, antibiotics has subclasses in the same table and it iterates like that with a drug name at the end.  HOM would be great to create the exploding folders in i2b2 by reading the 3M dictionary.

5) OHSU had ICD9 codes in UMLS in November and they are about to run in production this afternoon.  Peter can copy Ketty on that.  The paths changed for a lot of concepts which creates problems.

12/21/2011
 Ketty, Prakash, Harsh, Peter, Curtis, Nevi, Aaron
 
Prakash – updating Sybase
 
Ketty – more uploads and annotations in NCBO BioPortal. One UCare table (DISCH) is there. While proprietary, it was put there to the public site for our group to review and give comments back to Ketty. We are still waiting on the public site from Stanford.
 
Nevi (UAB) – have used UETL to import files to the i2b2 sql loader. They encountered some issues with some nodes and database. Also an issue with the drag and drop option showed nulls at the tool tip. They were able to resolve most issues. Prakash discussed some of the items with them, but some of the unresolved issues will wait until Vijay comes back in 2 weeks.
 
Curtis (UAB) – while they have to wait on the UETL issues, they want to get started on HOM. Prakash will set up a call for tomorrow (12/22) pm and get things started for them.
 
Aaron – HOM wiki has been relocated to Harvard (wiki.i2b2.org). Only he, Prakash and Rob have access to it right now. Won't be available until Rob gives his okay.

4. We discussed on various RxNorm medications.
5. Rob and team would work on leveraging SHRIMP UI for Ontomapper work.
