Agenda:

Follow-up Items

o  Is the demo server that is linked to the Wiki running? Jeffrey is willing to update Wiki. No updates.

o  How to migrate data from v4 to v5 installation – Jeffrey asked. Will be part of testing and review. No updates.

o  Mongo takeovers – security. Options that can be selected when doing the Mongo install. Luke has some notes that will go into install notes.

o  Nick and Peter are working on v5 install guide and will include this in the guide.

o  Jeffrey – getting some feedback from his BA on reports. Only giving numerator and denominator separately but is needed for reporting. Date range needs to be 12/31/15 – 12/31/16 for popHealth to calculate a year but it needs to be 1/1/16 – 12/31/16. Nick Martinez thinks you can use 1/1/16 – 12/31/16. Issue is that the date entered is as of 11:59 pm on that date. Gary will see if his team can look at that.

o  Really not an error – original popHealth had a 1 year reporting period. This team built in flexibility for a 90 day period. It has to do with how dates are entered.

o  Jeffrey and team are going to test more and might request a future enhancement.
