The chart shows the current status of U.S. patent applications as patented, abandoned, or still pending based on their filing year. More recently filed applications have a higher percentage still pending, while less than 10% of those filed before 2009 are still pending. About 60% of applications from 2005-2010 were issued patents, though that figure is expected to rise for later years as still pending cases are decided. The applications considered were as of October 1, 2014, so 2012 applications had been pending 1-9 months or 2-9 months.

After putting a box of old poetry manuscripts in the trash, a professor was reported to police by a student as a "Middle Eastern man" acting suspiciously. This led to an evacuation of campus buildings and cancellation of classes as the bomb squad investigated. It was revealed to be just recycling. However, the incident showed how an innocent action by a person of color can be viewed as a threat due to a culture of fear and profiling. While the university denied the report was racially motivated, the professor was deeply troubled by the profiling and atmosphere of suspicion it revealed.
This document provides biographical information about Oscar Malinga in 3 paragraphs.

HIT Systems Planning/Information Requirements
As the manager of CTU Health Care Systems, you have done your research on three vendors to which you would like to outsource the implementation of the electronic health records (EHRs) for the clinics. As the manager, you have a number of critical decisions regarding the electronic medical record systems. At first, you thought you could either implement the existing EHR system at the other acute care organization or implement an entirely new EHR in both facilities.
You met with your staff, and after researching several companies that offered both products and services, you have solicited request for proposals (RFPs) from the following three companies:
· ABC Systems Consulting, the leading company in health care systems integration services, refused to bid on the systems integration required for bringing the current EHR system into the other organization. This was because of the risks and time requirements for designing, implementing, and testing the large number of interfaces required and the required time line for the completion of the project as identified by the client.
· XYZ EHR Systems proposed that its new, recently redeveloped EHR be implemented in both facilities, which included a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) module, standardized drug interaction alert functionality, and customizable clinical alert functionality. It estimated that the merged entity would get a much better price than $50 million for purchasing this new system. Unfortunately, XYZ was unable to provide evidence of successful installation of its recently redeveloped EHR system at a similarly large delivery network or anywhere.
· QRS EHR Systems, a leading provider of EHR systems for large acute care facilities, proposed that its EHR be installed in both acute care organizations with a $50–60 million price tag. QRS included a CPOE module, standardized drug interaction alert functionality, as well as evidence-based clinical alert functionality. QRS also had a physician office EHR system with an embedded patient registration system; however, QRS has had minimal experience with integrating the physician office registration system with the acute care (hospital) registration system—an integration feature that was a priority for this project based on the client’s information technology (IT) strategic plan.
The stakes surrounding your recommendation to the chief information officer (CIO) and chief executive officer (CEO) could not be higher in terms of dollars and your career.
Discuss the following in your paper of 3-4 pages, not including title page and reference page:
· What pieces of information are the most critical for your decision on selecting the right vendor?
· What other options, if any, do you have?
· What are the critical success factors in the case?
· What are your recommendations to the CIO and CEO based on the RFPs that you received?

The manager of two healthcare clinics is deciding on an electronic health records (EHR) system vendor. Three vendors submitted proposals:
1) ABC Systems declined to integrate the current EHR due to risks and tight timeline.
2) XYZ EHR recently redesigned its system but has no experience implementing such a large system. It estimated $50 million for both clinics.
3) QRS EHR is an experienced large EHR provider. It proposed installing its system at $50-60 million and included key modules, but has limited experience integrating certain systems.
The manager must recommend a vendor to the CIO and CEO based on critical factors like proven experience, functionality, cost and integration capabilities.

The document describes how TIBCO Spotfire's recommendation engine can help users quickly build dashboards and analyses. It provides two case studies that demonstrate how recommendations reduced dashboard setup time to 30 seconds in the first case and helped identify factors influencing paper towel absorbency in the second. Overall, recommendations dramatically speeds data exploration and insight generation for both business users and analysts.
The document provides an overview of the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS) Data Web. It describes the NCCS as a clearinghouse for nonprofit data in the US. The Data Web allows users to access NCCS datasets, build reports, and analyze data. Useful datasets include the Core Files with financial info from 990 forms, and IRS Business Master Files with organizational descriptions. The Data Web provides tools for tasks like report building, data extraction, and preliminary statistical analyses. An example shows how to use the report builder to analyze revenues by subsector for Ohio charities.
The document describes an automated system for generating complex, multi-layered synthetic data sets through configurable rules to simulate real-world data. It can be used to lower testing costs by replacing manual data creation and provide more realistic test scenarios. The system generates statistically valid data at scale with known values and anomalies to test systems thoroughly. It models longitudinal health data with internal consistency across elements like names, identities, addresses and changing records over time.

The document summarizes Millennium Statistics, a tool for creating statistical reports from the Millennium database. It describes the types of reports that can be generated, including field statistics reports, periodic reports, and cross tabulation reports. It also discusses how to find and fix bad codes by running annual field statistics reports to clean data issues.
This document provides an overview of the new CountrySTAT approach for preparing and uploading statistical tables. It describes the various codifications and metadata required, including for dimensions, values, units of measurement, and flags. The process involves preparing the Excel file with the right structure, filling out metadata in the editor, creating a DSD to match the table structure, and then uploading the CSV file. Strict formatting rules must be followed around numbering, dates, and other elements. Published tables can then be retrieved, edited, or added to through the CountrySTAT interface.

This document is a request form for an information services report. It asks for the requestor's information including name, date, department, contact details, and date needed. It also asks for details about the report such as the frequency, purpose, fields to include, selection criteria, sorting preferences, and output file format. The form provides space for information services to track the request including assigning it, expected completion date, report name, and testing and production dates.
The top 30 companies by number of complaints are listed, accounting for over 80% of all complaints. Bank of America received the most complaints at over 60,000. An analysis finds that areas with higher rates of residents with bachelor's degrees or higher tend to file more complaints, while areas with lower rates of high school completion file fewer complaints. This suggests complaint filing rates may correlate with education levels.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

1. The New Baltimore
City Health Statistics
Database
By Nonye Madu
Summer Epidemiology Internship
September 2, 2014
2. Purpose of the new database
• The new database was created to not only
streamline data entry, but also to increase
the utility of the data that exists in the
database for reporting purposes.
• The old database, while functional for data
entry, was not suitable for generating
reports due to shortcomings in the design.
7. Changes in the new database
• Field types were changed to more accurately reflect the type
of data being entered. This process involved extensive data
cleaning.
Old Database New Database
The ages, sex codes, and race codes were converted to numeric values, and the date
of death text field was converted to a date field. New SexValue and RaceValue fields
were added to display the decoded sex and race values, respectively. These values
are generated upon making a sex or race selection and are not visible on the data
entry form.
8. Changes in the new database
• Links to data entry forms for data before 2010 were consolidated on
the Main Menu screen by decade. The Main Menu in the previous
database was constructed using the Switchboard function, which
only allows for 8 options per screen, thus leading to the use of
arbitrary time intervals for each screen.
Old Selection Screen for 1998-2004 New Selection Screen for 1991-1999
9. Changes in the new database
• All of the tables with data from 2010 (the oldest year for which
paper records are available) onwards were combined into one
table to allow for more efficient aggregate queries to be
generated. All future data will also be entered in this new table.
New Combined Table
Old Tables Separated by Year
10. Changes in the new database
• The data entry forms were updated to more accurately reflect
data contained on Maryland death certificates.
Old Form
11. Changes in the new database
New Form
New fields specifying the manner of death, the lethal agent in the case of an overdose, and the zip code where the
death occurred were added. The census tract code year was changed from 1990 to 2010 to reflect the most recent
census year. The race categories were also changed to reflect the options typically recognized on Maryland state
death certificates. In addition, the age unit field was edited so that individuals over 100 are not counted separately.
13. New Reports
• Several reports were added should the
data entry specialist be interested in
discerning particular trends within the
mortality data. Due to potentially differing
quality control measures, these numbers
are unofficial and may not exactly match
figures generated by the Department
epidemiologists, though they should be
relatively similar. Reports can be generated
for any date range from January 1, 2010.
14. New Reports
• Listing Reports: basic listing of all deaths in a specified date range.
Listing reports can be restricted by race, gender, or manner of death.
15. New Reports
Sample of a listing report showing all deaths ruled as accidents during
the specified date range (certificate numbers omitted for privacy).
16. New Reports
• Count Reports:
aggregate mortality
statistics reports that
can be grouped by
race, age, or gender.
Also included is a
report that lists the
top ten causes of
death and a report
showing the number
of overdose deaths
by zip code.
17. New Reports
Sample of a count report showing the total number of deaths and
leading causes of death by race during the specified date range.
18. New Reports
Sample of an overdose
report showing the
number of overdose
deaths by the zip code
where the death
occurred.
19. New Reports
Sample of a report
showing the top ten
causes of death during
the specified date
range.
20. New Reports
• The specific cause of death for each individual
is generated by a query linking the ICD-10
code specified in the mortality data table
with another table containing decoded ICD-
10 values. All of the codes are not
represented, but codes were selected in a
way as to capture the vast majority of
mortality causes. If needed, the table with
the decoded ICD-10 values can be used to
generate reports about any cause of interest.
21. New Reports
Example cells from the “Death Codes” table with decoded ICD-
10 values. This table was created in Microsoft Excel and
imported into Microsoft Access.
22. New Reports
The following query was used to link the ICD-10 code in the mortality
data table with the ICD-10 code in the imported table with decoded
values:
SELECT tbl_ALLDeathsSince2010.*, [tbl_ICD].SpecCause
FROM tbl_ALLDeathsSince2010
LEFT JOIN tbl_ICD
ON tbl_ALLDeathsSince2010.CAUSE Like [tbl_ICD].ICDCode & '*';
tbl_ALLDeathsSince2010 is the table with the mortality data and tbl_ICD is the
table imported from Excel containing the decoded ICD-10 values. The code is
written so that all derivatives of the specified ICD-10 codes are captured (for
example, both C153 and C505 are classified as malignant neoplasms in the query
results despite malignant neoplasms only being denoted as the letter “C” in
tbl_ICD). This query is saved under the name qryICDecode, and is referenced by
most of the count reports.
23. New Reports
• In addition to being printable, all of the
reports can be exported from Microsoft
Access to Microsoft Excel, allowing for use
in other applications such as SAS and
ArcGIS.
24. With this new database,
hopefully all interested parties
can gain new insight about
mortality in Baltimore City.
25. Thank you for your attentionand best
wishes going forward!
