LIVE at http://hitech.socialhealthinsights.com This is a presentation I gave at the 3/13/2013 @DataCommunityDC meetup at @microsoft. It s about a weekend project I started that gained traction in Health 2.0 and HIMSS circles. I have open sourced the code at https://github.com/marks/ONC-EHR-Incentives-Program-Payout-Data Follow me at @skram or my company, SocialHealthInsights.com, at @mappyhealth

3. Literally, a weekend project
Open
source

4. Timeline
1. Saturday PM: Found out Sherry was having some difficulty
geocoding data en mass in order to further analyze it
2. Sunday AM: I wanted to help so I wrote code to get the
several CSVs into a schema-less database and use APIs to
geocode and export back into CSV
3. Sunday-Monday: Curiosity led to me creating a web app
so others can see which hospitals and providers; Sherry
shows to colleagues at ONC and we tweak in order to
“release” at #HIMSS13

7. How?
Ruby + Sinatra - my go-to GTD language & web framework
MongoDB for data store - no need to worry about a
schema which could restrict future mashups
Data Science Toolkit for geocoding - because I could
spin up a server and run it for fast and inexpensive
address to lat/long translations
Leaflet + clustermarker plugin for mapping
Added in Foundation UI framework for responsiveness

8. What’s Next?
Government and private sector have shown interest
including championing attestations and sales/competitive analysis
Add additional views from existing data
such as top/bottom states/cities in terms of attestation
Mashup with more data like:
Hospital/Provider compare
Financial data such as claims and incentive amounts
Referral graph
Study outcomes & metrics of MU attesters
Query data via SMS and phone call

9. Thank You!
