Apologies for Cross posting,

As you may know, the AMIA Joint Summit has added an implementation track 
focused on pragmatic informatics needs to support bioinformatics and clinical 
research informatics.
https://www.amia.org/jointsummits2017

On behalf of the implementation track committee, one topic we think may be of 
interest to attendees is how teams conduct Extract Transform Load (ETL) 
software development between clinical/billing/claims/research source systems, 
local data warehouses, and destination data models and tools like OHDSI/OMOP, 
i2b2, and the PCORnet CDM.  This work may represent several full time 
equivalents of team effort and is a cornerstone for network collaborations.

We think it may be of interest to the community to hear practical issues 
encountered for sites using different approaches to conducting ETL and 
understand tradeoffs encountered regarding:

-          Development time

-          Complexity

-          Performance

-          Transparency

We are seeking feedback regarding if you think this is a good topic and can 
help identify panelists.

The goal would be to have 3 panelists who use different ETL tools to populate 
different destination data models/tools.

-          They would present both the good, the bad, and the ugly in terms of 
development, performance and maintainability

Please let us know via the brief REDCap survey link below:

-          If you think this is a panel that would be of interest to you and 
your teams

-          If you are interested in participating in the panel, some 
characteristics of your ETL process and data environment.

o   We are specifically looking for speakers who do ETL

§  At least quarterly

§  On an enterprise scale for their campus with at least 250,000 patients and 
at least half a billion observations.

§  That populate commonly used open data models and tools

§  Incorporating unstructured notes is also of interest

(note this link is in development right now pending any feedback)
