I believe that Alex was proposing data extract utilities from i2b2 that 
produced event-oriented (as opposed to time-oriented) datasets ready for the 
researcher to analyze statistically.

I was referring to the SAS PROCs that PCORI is using to distribute queries 
across network sites, reflecting that while i2b2 is easy to use in order to 
identify patient/encounter sets, it is not so friendly for specifying and 
extracting the datasets that the statistician needs for analysis.

As far as proprietary is concerned, a useful question for our GPC network data 
managers would be: what is the statistical tool bench of choice for their 
analytical work?
