Philip Dunne
Philip Dunne works in the Healthcare Pricing Office (HPO) as a Web Developer /
Technical Support Agent. Phil is a holder of a Bachelor of Engineering in Telecoms
(DCU 2002), a MBS in E-Commerce (UCC 2005) and a Postgraduate Diploma in
Statistics (Trinity College 2008). Phil is part of a team of five programmers at the
HPO who develop, support and maintain the HIPE Portal. The HIPE Portal is a webbased system, designed to collect demographic, clinical and administrative data on
discharges and deaths from acute hospitals nationally. The HIPE Portal is programmed
in Microsoft VB.NET, and incorporates MS SQL Server as its database. The HIPE Portal
also uses AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) to enhance the user interface.
The HIPE Portal allows for the collection of additional “add-on” data, such as data
related to hip fractures. The relevant clinical team has responsibility for the “add-on”
data, and is not keyed or validated by the HIPE Coders. This “add-on” data is then
compiled into a national dataset, such as the Irish Hip Fracture Database (IHFD).
