Hi Andre, we are not using commercial solutions nor is it research. I give it to students to do as part of their project unit of study. The user specifies what they want and I supervise the student by guiding their solutions, making sure it is sufficent for assessment and suitable for the client. There are commercial products for Analytics/OLAP but in some cases people don't want or need something so extensive. Furthermore until they see a small implementation and have engaged with it both at the design and user level they are unsure just what it is they want. At the end of one of our projects they should be in a good position to understand their needs and limitations, and to have confidence in making decisions about a much richer solution.In some ways this type of project is doing tech transfer. Also it gets the students involved in Health IT and looking for developing a future in it. It also a means by which we can develop a longer term relationship with groups by doing something small first, learning how to work with each other and build ideas for much larger projects that will need significant funding. Ultimately that is the level I have to work at -large funded research projects. Quoting Andre Duszynski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
