Hi,

Has anyone of you gained furher familiarity with IHD? And what are your immediate thougts?

You can produce quick results with IHD, but you have less control. You have to think a little differently in your approach. You still have to understand the underlying data, but some decisions have been made for you in the mapping of the data into their proprietary format. Some iterative results are more tedious to produce than could be achieved with clever use of the SAS macro language. The process involves defining cohorts and layers of dependent measures instead of coding.
