− | 2) poor user experience (UX) is the single complaint that supports the current " . . . not another spreadsheet!" cultural. I have provided a breakthrough solution, ActiveX object embedded spreadsheets that look and feel like mature, full screen multi-color database forms, validate their inputs, navigate through records and automatically send their data to any drive location. | + | 2) poor user experience (UX) is the single complaint that supports the current " . . . not another spreadsheet!" culture.

| 3) Database / Data Mangement practices and capability are insufficient to get to the next level. To understand and build strategies upon data collections and models based on the possible outputs is a widespread deficit. Folks cannot "see" the many ways in which these systems can help. Immersing some CS expertise in PHAC will organically change this limitation as that understanding begins to take hold in the community. | | 3) Database / Data Mangement practices and capability are insufficient to get to the next level.

− | I created a presentation extoling the virtues of “decoupling” the data gathering function from the reporting function. The idea needed to be combined with other solutions in order to meet the local need.

| I began a search for a repository capable of providing the data integrity required by the Performance Measurement System. I met with the Data Hub team to gather more information about their goals, standards and views on Protected “B” storage issues and future solutions. They could not provide much information about the facilities which would be in place in the future I was attempting to move towards in any of our solution designs. | | I began a search for a repository capable of providing the data integrity required by the Performance Measurement System.
