mi2b2 software update

• Bill reports that mi2b2 Version 6 is now deployed at MGH on the production server.
• The BWH servers are still not deployed, hope to do this by end of August. As an interim step we might be able to temporarily reconfigure the MGH servers to work with the BWH PACS. Bill will need to work with the BWH team to enable this; Kathy will facilitate this. Bill will need AE titles. He will set up a "Test" study first using dummy scans. Then when certain that all aspects are working will set up a second Project, the Kikinis/Pieper brain MRI MS data that is now IRB approved and has the RPDR database nearly ready (Shawn to follow up).
• No word yet from BIDMC or CHB.

Future planning

It is now time to:

1. develop training materials (manuals, tutorials, etc) using Camptasia software for the videos
2. develop our maintanence strategy
3. choose a website for deployment (leaning towards the i2b2 Community wiki)
4. plan peer reviewed article(s); choose target journal(s); Journal of Digital Imaging (JDI) is one option (Impact factor is 1.4) with later manuscript.
5. schedule next presentation to Advisory Board. Shawn suggests doing this 3 times, once each for Partners, BIDMC and CHB. At each meeting invite the mi2b2 leaders, Advisory Board members and representative SVPs from each institution. Site leaders to help do the organization. Randy will work on this.

Training Materials

Suggest the following components:

1. Installation guide
2. Architecture
3. Messaging guide (for integration with other i2b2 cells)
4. User & Project Manager documentation (including how to query the RPDR/i2b2 Access database to the MRNs and accession numbers)
5. Administrator (top level across all projects) documentation (e.g. SQL query to retrieve audit logs, access information)
