Literally, a weekend project

Open source

Timeline1. 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

How?

Ruby + Sinatra - my go-to GTD language & web frameworkMongoDB for data store - no need to worry about a schema which could restrict future mashupsData Science Toolkit for geocoding - because I could spin up a server and run it for fast and inexpensive address to lat/long translationsLeaflet + clustermarker plugin for mappingAdded in Foundation UI framework for responsiveness

What’s Next?Government and private sector have shown interestincluding championing attestations and sales/competitive analysis

Add additional views from existing datasuch 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 attestersQuery data via SMS and phone call
