mi2b2 software update

• MGH baby brain project: more than 1700 studies have now been downloaded. Vincent has continued to use the prototype mi2b2 Workbench (pre-version 4) independently without problem.
• mi2b2 Version 5 is back into development for enhancement and easier access to the auditing capabilities and limitations based on MRNs. Deployment is rescheduled pending completion and testing of these new features.
• Chris has near final quote for BWH HP machine and is now dealing with final questions about disk space.
• Dave has made good progress on the encryption phase the is required for the step where we pass data from the mi2b2 share to the users secure disk space.
• Next development (version 5 or version 6?) is to work out the cache management problems. This will start with improvements to the task management process to deal with asynchronous moves.
• Bill and Chris met with Rudolph and they demonstrated for each other the software tools now in place (mi2b2 and the CHB tools). Both were impressed with the progress that had been made since their last meeting.

"mi2b2 Enabled Pediatric Neuroradiological Decision Support"

• Randy met with Jon Bickel last week and together they completed the application for the CHB IRB for the mi2b2 Baby Brain Project. It is currently under review.
• The team discussed details of the architecture for the final delivery of the mi2b2 Radiology Decision Support Workbench as it would live within the participating Departments of Radiology. Steve is going to write up concise descriptions of two options that both seemed to be possible and valuable to get feedback from the rest of the team and our consultants.
