 There was mention made of CRC plugins.  I will need to investigate these further.
 
+==== Ontologies and mapping ====

+Wisdom provided by Matvey Palchuck (Recombinant):
+
+* Use actual values then problems of ranges go away.
+* Get stuff into i2b2 even if the only hierarchy that you can make is splitting things by first letter.
+* Payment data is usually clean data

 === [=#SHRINE3 SHRINE Ontology Panel] ===
+
+All the sites within a SHRINE do not have to use the same ontology because there is an intermediate mapping step.  Therefore, each organisation within the SHRINE has to map its own codes to the standard specified by the SHRINE.
+
+It may, however, be more efficient and easier to create a new instance of i2b2 for the SHRINE with the data mapped to the SHRINE common ontology.
+
+Some of the problems encountered with SHRINE mappings were:
+1. Data aggregated at different levels between the SHRINE and node ontologies can cause problems.  If the SHRINE ontology is mapped at a higher level, you may be OK, but if SHRINE is mapped at a lower level, it is impossible to split the node value into SHRINE values.
+1. If the data is split into ranges (e.g., age ranges), it is possible that the ranges for the SHRINE and those for the node do not match.  This can be solved by everyone loading the actual value and not grouping things into ranges (e.g., actual age).

 === [=#SHRINE4 University of California Research Exchange (UC ReX)] ===
+
+Presentation of SHRINE utilisation to join data across 2 medical schools in California.  Data imported is mainly demographics data, but have recently imported the top 200 LOINC codes.
+
 === [=#SHRINE5 Preparation for Patient-Centred Research] ===
+
+Social media shows that people are willing to share their data.  There is the scope for altruistic patients to share their information.
+
+The best way to get things to change is to use Disruptive Technologies.  These are usually low level, basic technologies that are cheap, easy to create and easy to use. SMART apps could be such a Disruptive Technology.
