Microsoft: A Waking Giant In Healthcare Analytics and Big DataHealth Catalyst
In 2005, Northwestern Memorial Healthcare embarked upon a strategic Enterprise Data Warehousing (EDW) initiative with the Microsoft technology platform as the foundation. Dale Sanders was CIO at Northwestern and led the development of Northwestern’s Microsoft-based EDW. At that time, Microsoft as an EDW platform was not en vogue and there were many who doubted the success of the Northwestern project. While other organizations were spending millions of dollars and years developing EDW’s and analytics on other platforms, Northwestern achieved great and rapid value at a fraction of the cost of the more typical technology platforms. Now, there are more healthcare data warehouses built around Microsoft products than any other vendor. The risky bet on Microsoft in 2005 paid off.
Ten years ago, critics didn’t believe that Microsoft could scale in the second generation of relational data warehouses, but they did. More recently, many of these same pundits have criticized Microsoft for missing the technology wave du jour in cloud offerings, mobile technology, and big data. But, once again, Microsoft has been quietly reengineering its culture and products, and as a result, they now offer the best value and most visionary platform for cloud services, big data, and analytics in healthcare.
In this context, Dale will talk about:
His up and down journey with Microsoft as an Air Force and healthcare CIO, and why he is now more bullish on Microsoft like never before
A quick review of the Healthcare Analytics Adoption Model and Closed Loop Analytics in healthcare, and how Microsoft products relate to both
The rise of highly specialized, cloud-based analytic services and their value to healthcare organizations’ analytics strategies
Microsoft’s transformation from a closed-system, desktop PC company to an open-system consumer and business infrastructure company
The current transition period of enterprise data warehouses between the decline of relational databases and the rise of non-relational databases, and the new Microsoft products, notably Azure and the Analytic Platform System (APS), that bridge the transition of skills and technology while still integrating with core products like Office, Active Directory, and System Center
Microsoft’s strategy with its PowerX product line, and geospatial analysis and machine learning visualization tools

Technology COPs – An arresting presentation on how three organizations from a...Fred Hobbs
Imagine! SmartHomes guru Greg Wellems presented at the 2014 Alliance Summit on “Technology COPs – An arresting presentation on how three organizations from around the country are working together to improve services and supports.”
Here is a description of his presentation: COPs, or “Communities of Practice,” are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something, and work together to do it better. The session will highlight how Imagine!, New York-based Living Resources and Connecticut-based Ability Beyond are working together to improve services and supports through technology. The three organizations regularly share information and resources and have worked together to design an assessment that helps organizations identify and prioritize technologies to improve the supports they provide. Attendees will learn about this successful collaboration along with a demonstration of the assessment.
Imagine!’s SmartHomes were created to act as living laboratories for testing and refining technologies that can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of service provision for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and to create new opportunities for independence for those individuals. Imagine! is well into the second phase of its SmartHome project, moving technologies out of the SmartHomes and into other service areas as well as individual and family homes. Imagine!’s SmartHomes guru Greg Wellems, along with tech superstars Alex Andrews and Chris Baumgart, are sharing this presentation with Imagine! employees and others in the field, discussing how we are moving from the SmartHomes to SmartSupports.
On May 7, 2014, the Imagine! Foundation hosted a donor recognition event. During the event, the Foundation shared a PowerPoint presentation highlighting all the services Imagine! has been able to provide, in part thanks to its generous donors.
Building Community Through CollaborationFred Hobbs
At the 2013 Coleman Institute for Cognitive Disabilities’ National Conference, Imagine! tech guru Alex Andrews and University of Colorado Professor Melinda Piket-May gave a presentation on a collaboration which involved CU Engineering students creating assistive technologies for individuals with developmental disabilities served by Imagine!. The collaboration has been very successful. Check out the presentation to learn more.
Imagine! is a nonprofit organization that provides support services to people with disabilities in Colorado.

Advanced Process Solutions creates a data rich environment by installing and making use of existing sensor technology in a residence. The CARE system then collects, and translates data that delivers timely and relevant information to interested parties, creating a connected community of care.
The CARE System collects information from disparate sources, to creates views of information relevant to each role within the support network. From staff members collect information from sensors (such as location and alert response), just in time log in of services provided, and their use of the web-based information portal. From clients we collect information about their movement throughout the environment, and also from alerts they generateManagers provide the system with definition by completing profiles of Clients, and setting appropriate alert and notification preferences. The CARE Station translates this data into information relevant to each role: actionable cues for staff members: Alerts and notifications social and health information for client contacts (the support network) Global perspective for managers
This is the CARE systems live view of a smart house. Because staff and clients carry location badges, users check online to see where people are at the moment. This slide also demonstrates how the location information is integrated into our alert system. When marilyn calls for help, we know the location from where she called for help.
Managers and members of the support network can review the history of information collected by the system. Alerts history is now meaningful. I can view the history for an individual, time of day, group of clients, or the response of a particular staff member. The alert detail allows me to review the types of alert generated, when, who provided assistance, response time, and the type of assistance provided.
The Client Summary brings system information together and makes it meaningful for staff members. This view brings staff members up to date on what happened since they were last on shift. They can review the last 24 hours of information collected by the system such as movement, total alerts, and time spent in bed. This is also a place to quickly read and document observations. Because the information system is web based, managers and on-call nursing staff can access the CARE portal online, and allowing the team members to consult one another with an established and accessible point of reference.
