Programming at CHS
Group Health's databases capture a variety of data on health care
experiences of nearly 600,000 enrollees. These data are stored on
Microsoft Windows Server, UNIX, Sybase, Oracle, and MVS systems. An individual
program will often pull data from two or more systems and move it into the
local Windows environment for analysis.
For the most part, we program in SAS, Microsoft Access, Microsoft
SQL Server, and Microsoft Visual Studio.NET. However, as more projects
incorporate Web technologies and the use of handheld devices, we're seeing
a greater need for Web-based, and other, programming languages.
The Center has a variety of research interests: aging and geriatrics, health behavior change,
cancer control,
cardiovascular health, child and adolescent health, chronic illness management, complementary and alternative
medicine, mental health, women's
health, health services and economics, immunization and infectious disease
studies, pharmacoepidemiology and patient safety, and prevention.
Because of this diversity, our programmers may work on a single project
within one research interest or on a few projects in more than one
research interest.
