The site was developed using the DotNetNuke open source content management framework.
AI has launched the new website of the Gideon Hixon Fund, a venture capital fund based in Santa Barbara, California.

Audacious Inquiry developed a system for managing the quarterly performance goals of a client’s employees. This system allows the company to manage quarterly bonuses based on a combination of employees’ performances against their own goals for the quarter and the company’s performance against its stated quarterly goals.
The Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) wanted to develop health information exchange (HIE) guidelines for the number of community-centered exchange currently being undertaken or planned throughout Maryland. The team of Dynamed Solutions and Audacious Inquiry was chosen to develop these policy guidelines.
There is clearly a need for a lightweight HL7 messaging engine or tool that facilitates the integration of healthcare systems and is available to the developer community for free. The AI HL7 Engine is designed to meet some of these immediate low-cost integration needs.
In the fall of 2007, Retirement Living Television (RLTV) engaged Audacious Inquiry to help to build up the audience of its online health-related content by developing a web portal devoted exclusively to healthy aging. The portal would also benefit from the strengths of RLTV’s corporate siblings, Erickson Health, one of the largest geriatric practices in the country, and the Erickson Tribune, a weekly newspaper that often publishes stories on health-related topics.
The marketing team at Erickson Retirement Communities (ERC) was looking to create a more interactive experience for prospective residents interested in knowing more about life on an Erickson campus. It wished to develop a calendar for publishing events taking place on Erickson campuses on a public website. The ERC marketing team chose Audacious Inquiry to develop this web application.
Beginning in September 2005, Audacious Inquiry Senior Partner David Bell, along with his Wharton School colleague David Reibstein, began leading groups of fifty Rohm and Haas senior executives through a weeklong marketing excellence training initiative developed in collaboration with the client. Initially scheduled for a single group of senior executives, the program is still ongoing and has been implemented by Bell and Reibstein in Philadelphia, Fontainebleau, Singapore, and Shanghai.
In 2008, Audacious Inquiry partnered with Erickson Health Information Exchange, LLC, a subsidiary of the Erickson Foundation, to respond to a request from the Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) for an evaluation of the viability of Management Service Organizations (MSOs) in the state of Maryland. The team was to explore the environment for MSOs providing health IT services to physicians’ practices and to compile recommendations around MSOs for Maryland.
In 2008, a large healthcare client engaged Audacious Inquiry to develop a personal health record, sometimes also known as a health record bank (HRB), to better empower consumers to actively participate in their own healthcare. Audacious Inquiry led the project from discovery, through design, to deployment.
After leading a team that deployed a health information exchange between the Erickson Retirement Communities’ Charlestown and St. Agnes Hospital, Audacious Inquiry was again engaged by Erickson Retirement Communities to develop a strategy for Erickson to foster health information exchange (HIE) more broadly.
In October 2008, a large, private-sector client engaged Audacious Inquiry to evaluate its enterprise-wide integration needs. The evaluation centered on two integration engine platforms: Microsoft’s BizTalk and Healthvision’s Cloverleaf.
Audacious Inquiry, as a subcontractor to Dynamed Solutions, teamed with Erickson Retirement Communities (ERC) to develop a research survey on behalf of the Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) about the state’s physicians’ readiness for health information exchange (HIE). The responses gathered will ultimately help to shape the criteria for HIE efforts in the state.
AI's client, a national chain of fitness centers, has over 100,000 members distributed across the United States in major metropolitan centers including New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, and Atlanta. For the client, attracting, engaging, and retaining appropriate customers is critical for viability and for profitability. The client employed Audacious Inquiry to assess how it could improve these key business variables.
CRISP, a partnership among Erickson Retirement Communities, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, University of Maryland Medical System, and MedStar Health, began with the ambitious goal of developing a plan for statewide health information exchange (HIE) in Maryland. AI was selected to play a strong leadership role in the CRISP planning project.
Charlestown, in Catonsville, Maryland, is home to over 2,500 residents and is the flagship campus in the Erickson Communities network. When Charlestown residents require ambulatory or critical care, they are normally taken to St. Agnes Hospital. With the support of Erickson, the team planned and built a health information exchange (HIE) using HealthUnity’s innovative technology platform.
Audacious Inquiry developed a service that makes patients’ recent medications available to emergency departments during hospital visits. Currently, it is being piloted in a handful of ambulatory care settings in Maryland.
Early in 2007, an organization employing over 10,000 people approached Audacious Inquiry to assess an executive-level business intelligence initiative. The organization’s chief information officer believed that leadership at all levels of the enterprise could be empowered to make better decisions if they were delivered timely, mission-critical data in a simple online dashboard.
Audacious Inquiry undertook a business process modeling (BPM) and redesign project for Erickson Health, whereby a complex nursing rounds process was reengineered to improve the quality of care for many Erickson patients.
