Using SAS VA for Health Data analysis?

[MALIGHT]

I'm curious who may be using SAS VA to build dashboards and reports which analyze Health-related Data? We are interested in discussing best practices developed from the data loading into VA through the dashboard/report development of which report objects you think work best with this industry-specific data. We work with Pharmacy data and our Big Data challenge is handling large daily volume of data from each customer, multiplied by thousands of customers.

there where presentations on this topic (SAStalks)

The numbers you are mentioning are still looking as small data for SAS or other professional tools. (thousands of customers...)  the more technical specs (table sizing numbers/columns bytes) are more indicative markers.

You may also want to look at the interview Maggie Miller had with Jo Porter of the Institute for Health Policy and Practice at the University of New Hampshire on how they use Visual Analytics in Health Care - Visual Analytics in Health Care with Jo Porter - YouTube
