Re: Operation DROP USER failed for 'glassfish'@'localhost'

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 17:12:18 +0000

Bill,

That was exactly the approach to take. Some deployments of MySQL will allow you to ignore the error and continue to execute the rest of the script when you hit a command that cannot be executed. When your database does not support this, commenting out the first "drop user" command is the correct approach to take.

The SQL script for the Common Platform server is intended to perform a complete rebuild of the schema on top of an existing Common Platform schema. This can be helpful when trying things out as you are now. Be careful with using the install script however as it has the ability to blow away a completely good schema if you aren't careful. I would suggest not granting the "drop table" privilege to the the MySQL account you use to regularly access the schema as a precaution.

Regards,

Sam

Re: Operation DROP USER failed for 'glassfish'@'localhost'

Follow-up to: DROP USER Failed, 'glassfish'@'localhost'

Solution, though simple, was to remark-out /* line 42 * / in the create_tables.sql script, removing the DROP command from the script.

My presumption is that there existed no current 'glassfish' user (to DROP), since this was an initial installation.

After this action, the script execution completed successfully and I successfully identified the 'glassfish' user account with the appropriate privileges (Select, Insert, Update, Delete, and Execute).

Further the healthdesign schema installed successfully and I was able to explore this database content tables.

Comments, corrections and suggestions are greatly appreciated as I'm learn as I go...Thank You.

Operation DROP USER failed for 'glassfish'@'localhost'

Fri, 28 Jan 2011 11:49:11 +0000

Hi All,

Please bear with me as I'm on a steep learning curve here - Thank You.

Seems I can't get over hurdle, #1, I've successfully loaded, NetBean IDE v6.9, MySQL 5.1 and GlassFish v2.1. All start OK.

Startup MySQL Query Browser and
When I execute the 'create_tables.sql' script I get this error message:
Script line: 42 Operation DROP USER failed for 'glassfish'@'localhost' Error 1396

Seems the script is Dropping the User: 'glassfish@'localhost' in preperation to
re-instate 'glassfish@localhost' with the 'mssqlsa' password.

DROP USER 'glassfish'@'localhost';
CREATE USER 'glassfish'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mssqlsa';
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,EXECUTE ON healthdesign.* TO 'glassfish'@'localhost';

MySQL Query Browser - Connection: root@localhost:3306

Thanks to all in advance for your kind support.

PS: Installing on a Window XP Pro SP3 System, New installation just for this project.

Warm Regards,
Bill Chamberlin

Re: superuser fails on CPAdminPortal

Mon, 11 Oct 2010 18:58:33 +0000

Sounds like that will be the case unfortunately. Please let me know if you have questions about rebuilding the project.

If I might make a suggestion, use the HDServices.wsdl file that was packaged in the WAR file to rebuild the client web service stubs (with the correct end-point of course). There is a reported issue with pointing to each of the separate web services from the hosted Common Platform when building the client stubs. The issue was that there is duplicate objects created in the auto-generated source because each separate service uses the same basic structures. If you use a single, consolidated WSDL (which the HDServices.wsdl) is, it gets around this problem. As long as this WSDL has the endpoint specified correctly (e.g., localhost:8080) it should work for you when rebuilding your stubs.

Good luck.

-Sam

Re: superuser fails on CPAdminPortal

Mon, 11 Oct 2010 18:46:50 +0000

Hi Sam,

There where no references to cormtech in de .wsdl files. I edited "jax-ws-catalogs.xml" within the .war and redeployed. But the error still exist.

I also found references to "cormtech" in the binary files:

./CPAdminPortal/WEB-INF/classes/org/projecthealthdesign/platform/ObservationsService_Service.class
..../RegistryService_Service.class
..../AuthenticationService_Service.class
..../AccessCtrlService_Service.class
..../MedicationsService_Service.class

So unless you have another option for me I think I need to get into NetBeans now and recompile

Regards,
Ronny

Re: superuser fails on CPAdminPortal

Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:22:57 +0000

Ronny,

I believe I see the problem. It's in this part of the log file

Quote

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL: [www.cormtech.com:8089]

For background, when the binary of the CPAdminPortal portal was made, the WSDL endpoint was specified for a particular server (a server where the Project HealthDesign Alpha server was hosted). This server is no longer available so when the deployed client tries to connect to this old server it just gets back a 503 error.

What you need to do is change the endpoint of the WSDL of the CPAdminPortal client so that it is pointing at your own instance of the Common Platform server (e.g. www.yourowndomain:8080 or localhost:8080 if running from the same machine). You should be able to fix this by replacing the instances of cormtech.com:8089 with the URL of your own instance of the CP by editing the file CPAdminPortal/WEB-INF/WSDL/HDServices.wsdl. There may be other copies of the HDServices.wsdl file within the .WAR file that should also be modified (or removed). Unfortunately, I'm not positive which one exactly will do the trick. Once those changes are made, save and redeploy.

Failing that, you can try to rebuild the CPAdminPortal client from the source using NetBeans or your favorite Java IDE (though the source of the admin portal already includes a NetBeans project file). You can use your modified HDServices.wsdl file to rebuild the client web service stubs. Once rebuilt with the updated and correct WSDL endpoint, redeploy and you should be in business.

Let me know how that goes and if you have any further problems.

Regards,

Sam

Hi Sam,

Thanks for your prompt response!

I did some investigations below.
Are there other log files I should consult as well? Where to find these.

1)
I deployed from the compiled binaries

2)
The Common Platform server is up and running.
Accessing [<serverIP>] results in a "Hello World" html

3)
Accessing:
[<serverIP>],
[<serverIP>],
[<serverIP>],
[<serverIP>],
[<serverIP>] and
[<serverIP>]
all result in a page with title "Web Services" and the EndPoints (Service and Port names) together with information (address, link to WSDL, Implementation class)
The links to the WSDL in these pages are without .../HD/ in the URL. Glassfish is returning a HTTP 404 status.

4)
Accessing [<serverIP>] returns the WSDL file.

5)
...glassfish/domains/domain1/server.log reports:

Re: superuser fails on CPAdminPortal

Thu, 07 Oct 2010 15:35:12 +0000

Hi Ronny,

I assume you have confirmed that the Common Platform server is up and running?

Did you deploy from the compiled binaries or did you do a build from the Java source first and then deploy?

Have you taken a look at the server logs to see what errors you are getting from the Admin Portal and/or the Common Platform server? These log files can be very helpful in troubleshooting connection problems like this. If you can post some exceptions that look relevant, I can probably tell you what steps you need to take to remedy the problem.

superuser fails on CPAdminPortal

Thu, 07 Oct 2010 09:04:58 +0000

Hi there,

I managed to get the webservices up and running on a local machine.

For some reasons I'm unable to login onto the Administration Portal [<IP>] using the superuser account.

The user that is created to allow the common platform server to access the mySQL database is working correctlly. I'm able to manually login to the database using the user "glassfish" with pw "mssqlsa".

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Re: Android Platform and Microsoft HealthVault

Forwarded response from Gillian Hayes, UC-Irvine:
The short answer is that yes, you have to build an intermediary server. Sen (copied) has done this for our team and can potentially provide a bit more guidance, though without a more specific question from Ann, its hard to say more than yes she is right.

Android Platform and Microsoft HealthVault

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:23:05 +0000

Has anyone tried to interface with Microsoft HealthVault from Android platform? HealthVault has very good support for .Net based systems, but I have not found anything related to Android. From our findings, it looks like we need to create an intermediary server to bridge the communication between Android and HealthVault. This is kind of kludge but doable. If you have better solutions or have had experience with both Android and HealthVault, please let us know.

Standards

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 14:51:43 +0000

Are there any attributes which should attach to EVERY ODL?

Microsoft HealthVault has a number of attributes that are common across many data types on their platform (http://developer.healthvault.com/pages/types/types.aspx).

Some examples are:
1. ID
2. Version Stamp
3. Note
4. Tags
5. Source
6. Vocabulary (if applicable)

They also include extensive audit related information such as:
1. Date - the date the record was changed
2. Action - the change action
3. Program - the application that made the change

With this in mind, I would be very interested to see if we can form a consensus around common attributes for most ODLs within our program. My first stab at this is that, at a minimum, all ODL data types should have the following:

1. Unique personal identifier: patient ID or something similar
2. Unique record identifier: an automatically generated ID
3. Timestamp: date and time the observation was actually made or entered (note, this is different from self reported dates and times – e.g., the self report “date/time eaten” in the Photo Food ODL)
4. Source - Self entry, sensor, algorithm, etc.
4. Vocabulary code: LOINC and similar vocabulary codes if a mapping can be made
5. Full audit package

Tags might also be helpful to lay users, perhaps performing a similar role that vocabularies play for clinicians. Although, I think this would be up for debate as tags will be highly idiosyncratic.

Re: ODLs & Data Definitions

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 14:03:30 +0000

The work presented here brings up some critical issues on which we might provide guidance on emergent national policy while simultaneously advancing our own work. Since we are trying to integrate two domains, is what the lay person needs to know different from what the clinician needs to know in order to make sense of an observation?

I see this question as raising two related, but distinct, topics with respect to our current work with ODLs: privacy and the benefit of standards.

On the issue pf privacy, are there certain things which should not even be captured?

For instance, the Photo Food ODL specification from iN Touch has an attribute Date/Time eaten that is self reported. Would either the photo taker or clinician ever want to know when the photo itself was taken? Would there be a reason to omit that attribute entirely?

ODLs & Data Definitions

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:43:01 +0000

We agreed that asynchronous communication would work best for building community among our Project HealthDesign technical team members. We thought we should lead off with what we see as the most pressing issue now both for our teams and the PHD program (given the ONC invitation to help define ODLs in meaningful use).

We need each team's input to help better understand and articulate the technical demands of collecting, storing and exchanging ODLs across multiple users and platforms. It also helps us to meet our obligation to RWJF for transparency in all our work.

We'd like you to review the two attached files before our meeting on Friday, August 20th. These files are:
1. a grid of our current understanding of each team's ODLs
2. data definitions for a single ODL from the teams.

PIs please
verify the ODL Grid and look for opportunities for collaboration across teams so we can talk about them on Friday.

Similarly, technical team members please
evaluate the clarity and adequacy of the Compiled Data Definitions
and join the PHD technical team (Sam and Tim) in moving the ODL specifications forward so they can be shared across implementations and in the broader context of PHRs.

List of ODLs

View and add to the observations of daily living wiki

Re: What are Observations of Daily Living?

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:56:29 +0000

I think of ODLs as observations made in support of personal health goals. This might be a different perspective than others have argued, as it blurs the distinction between what we might consider observations that are externally directed vs. those that are internally directed.

For example, I know of a case where a physician asked a person to take daily blood pressure readings at home while the being evaluated as to a heart condition. Once resolved, the physician no longer needed that information. However, this person “internalized” this as something that supported their own personal health goals and continues to monitor blood pressure to this day. This is not an individual modification of a clinical concept - it is described, defined, and tracked exactly as the physician initially directed. However, given that it is now done in support of personal health goals, I would consider this an ODL.

Re: What are Observations of Daily Living?

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:28:28 +0000

I think the question that Ramly had asked about how can we integrate the disparate with established measures is a very important one. I think we should find a system to make the data useful to clinicians; a way for the ODL's to become tools for the solution to a problem. I think maybe a way to start quantifying ODL's is by giving weight to different parts of the ODL. In other words, be mindful of how important is one ODL in comparison to others and how effective are the steps taken in response to an ODL.

Here's a personal example of what I'm trying to say. I use ODL to know when I will be getting a migraine. Based off of my ODL, I try to stay prepared to prevent the headaches. Thus far I've came to three solutions: sleeping extra, having a larger intake of caffeine, and exercising. When analyzing the solutions, I think about how effective and how convenient they are for me, and convenience has a higher weight of importance over effectiveness. I find exercising to be the most effective but also time consuming which is not good. Having a larger intake on caffeine,on the other hand, is much easier in a busy life, for I can just drink a can of Mountain Dew and keep working on whatever it is I was doing.

Re: What are Observations of Daily Living?

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:50:06 +0000

On a more personal note, here is a simple ODL I use: I know (or at least think that) I'm dehydrated when my skin is more crackly and itchy than usual, and I drink a glass of water whenever I notice that.

It would be interesting to hear what ODLs you all use in your everyday life.

Re: What are Observations of Daily Living?

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:49:10 +0000

If the premise is that ODLs are person-defined, I don't think there can or should be a one-size-fits-all answer to these important questions. It will depend on the context, the person, the formal (e.g. clinicians) and informal (e.g. family) care givers, the observation methods (e.g. mental notes, paper, smart phone, ...), the analysis methods (e.g. intuition, plotting trends, asking others, ...), etc.

Hence the importance of tailoring the technologies and tools that support ODLs. One problem that arises from all this personalization though, is how do we go back and integrate all this disparate data with established measures? And how do we (or should we) make it useful to clinicians?

What are Observations of Daily Living?

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:25:59 +0000

One of the interesting concepts that emerged from the first round of Project HealthDesign was that of people tracking aspects of their health that they defined themselves. This has been termed Observations of Daily Living.

This idea of person-defined observations is one that several of us are investigating, seeing whether the idea extends into several domains of established measures and tools (ex: Activities of Daily Living, behavior and pain assessment tools, quality of life assessment), but looks at them from a different perspective.
Some people may think ODLs incorporate these existing measures and tool conceptually but allow for individual modification for how they are described, defined, and tracked.
Others may think ODLs take subsets of these tools depending on the functionality and/or usefulness of the measure in the home and/or community setting.
Yet others may believe that ODLs capture aspects of a person's life which these measures and tools cannot quantify, but are relevant to the patient and the clinician, allowing for a positive impact on the patient's health and well being.

Please comment with your thoughts about this concept of ODLs--what you think about it, whether you've seen it in your life, work or practice, etc.

Thank you!

Outline for Manatt/CDT's Cross-Cutting Policy Issues Paper

Thu, 04 Nov 2010 15:51:55 +0000

Introducing the Cross Cutting Policy Issues Paper
Manatt/CDT

Following up on Deven McGraw’s blog post from last month, which described the session on cross-cutting legal and policy issues at the recent Project HealthDesign grantee meeting at the Vanderbilt Center for Better Health, we have taken the feedback provided by the grantees at that meeting and turned it into a proposed outline for a “Cross Cutting Policy Issues” paper.

The purpose of this paper is to address issues that may create obstacles to more widespread adoption of health care quality improvement models that leverage technology to bridge the information gap between clinical care teams and patients. The paper will discuss potential public policy solutions or risk mitigation strategies for overcoming these obstacles.

Based on the grantees’ brainstorming at the recent meeting in Nashville, we are proposing to focus on three sets of issues: (1) provider liability concerns relating to the availability of patient-supplied information; (2) uncertainty about legal obligations for assuring the security of information transmitted between portable devices and other computer systems and (3) the lack of a clear legal framework for many types of personal health records. Manatt and CDT, with the input of the National Project Office and other Project HealthDesign consultants, have prepared a proposed outline for the paper, which is provided below. We will be seeking grantees’ feedback on this outline. Indeed, we will be involving the grantees in every step of the process of preparing the Cross Cutting Policy Issues paper. More to come on this process in the future. In the meantime, please post your reactions to our outline below.

Outline of Cross Cutting Policy Issues Paper

I. Issue 1: Uncertainty about Health Care Providers’ Liability when Incorporating
ODLs into Clinical Practice and Communicating with Patients Electronically.
A. Overview of general legal standards governing providers’ exposure to malpractice liability.
B. Common provider liability concerns related to use of ODLs in clinical practice.
1. How to ensure the accuracy of ODLs and/or how to protect against liability for reliance on inaccurate ODLs.
2. How to determine whether/when health care providers have to review and/or act on ODLs submitted by patients.
3. How to determine when it is appropriate for health care providers to communicate with patients via email or other electronic means.
4. Whether a health care provider is responsible for ensuring that a patient received an alert or other communication generated by the health care provider and delivered via email or other electronic means.
5. How to manage patients’ expectations about communication of ODLs with health care providers (e.g. provider response time, coordination among treating providers).
C. Best practices for minimizing risks associated with common concerns (e.g. setting clear expectations on the part of providers and patients about what data should be exchanged, how, and when).

II. Issue 2: Uncertainty about How to Comply with the HIPAA Security Rule’s Requirements for Electronic Transmission Security When Communicating ODLs and Using Mobile Technologies and Internet Social Networking Sits to Communicate with Patients.
A. Brief overview of HIPAA Security Rule transmission security requirements (e.g. encryption).
B. Challenges associated with use of communications technologies (e.g. text/SMS messaging) that can not meet the Security Rule’s transmission security requirements.
C. Best practices, including alternative safeguards, for complying with the Security Rule’s requirements when using such technologies.

III. Issue 3: Uncertain Policy Environment Regarding an Individual’s Use of Internet for Sharing Health Information
A. Brief overview of legal landscape -
1. HIPAA does not apply, except with respect to certain uses of PHRs (explained below).
2. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has minimal authority to regulate PHRs (breach notification for non-HIPAA PHRs), but what is a PHR? Does that include Twitter and Facebook?
3. FTC authority to enforce privacy policies in commercial space.
4. What is “PHI” in the 2.0 world?
B. Lack of clarity stalls robust use of these tools and stalls innovation.
C. Advocate for baseline protections that apply in Internet space (so data doesn’t move from protected to unprotected).
D. Make more clear when HIPAA applies and when it doesn’t (discuss PHR confusion as an example and stress need for clear, consistent policies)
E. Promote a set of industry best practices in the absence of changes in law.

Two New Documents for your Review in DropBox

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 23:08:15 +0000

We've posted two new documents for your review in the PHD Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com) in the grantee folder. Both documents are in draft form; we plan to review both in our next call on Wednesday, June 30 at 11 am Central time. We encourage you to post questions and comments here both before and after our next meeting.
1. Project Briefing Books
As you know, we are planning to conduct site visits later in summer or early fall. These "books" originated as a way to help the NAC members who will be making the visits to effectively and efficiently learn about your project plans and progress. During their preparation, it has become clear that they can be useful for a variety of things, so plan to update them periodically.
The document posted in the dropbox is a "sample" which demonstrates the parts that will be populated here at the NPO and the items which will require your input.

2. PHD Timelines
At least for now, we plan to use excel for the timelines. The spreadsheet in the dropbox is composed of 6 worksheets - a "master" sheet and individual worksheets for each of the projects. The individual project sheets are linked to the master so that any changes made to your individual sheets will automatically be made to the master.
We built these timelines from those that we submitted either with your full proposal or your revised proposal. You'll note that they vary substantially in amount of detail as well as inclusion of timeframes.

So, we invite you to start the discussion of these documents here. All feedback is appreciated!

Here are the notes from the Vanderbilt Center for Better Health -- Project HealthDesign Workshop #3 around the "Representing Data" cross-team work

Data Consumers:
- Patient
- Coach/Caregiver
- Clinician

Data Representation For Patient Users
- Patients are the primary source of the ODL data
- They may have interest in reviewing their progress/status over a given period
- Granularity of data (raw data <--> highly processed data) will depend on the patient population & type of data.

Data Representation For Coach/Caregiver Users
- Coaches and caregivers serve as interpreters of the data (for patient & clinicians)
- They need detailed reports/analysis capabilities
- They need access to data AND to the patient

Data Representation for Clinician Users
- Need simplicity in report/view/dashboard ("one-pager")
- Need reasonable integration into patient records (EHR or paper)
- Might benefit from "flags" from a health coach or other interpreter

Technology needs to support flexibility in data representations

Discovering Information Needs of Users
Interview/Focus Group
- Start with asking what information (independent of technology) would be helpful and what information is currently collected.
- Then show information that is enabled by technology and ask the group if it would be helpful.
- Show users a choice of the information so that they can recognize what they may find useful
- Ask how they would use the information
