- Reliable and DeliciousmartyDined on 11/26/2014Last week I returned to Plaj for the third time, this visit with out-of-town guests, and it did not disappoint. They graciously seated the rest of my party when I thought I might be held up in traffic for longer than I was (accident on the Golden Gate Bridge). The Swedish meatballs tasted as good as I remembered. Next time I must order something else! My one desire: the server might have pointed out to me that the potato dumpling dish would duplicate the potatoes served with the order of meatballs. And the potato dumplings themselves DID disappoint--quite gooey on the inside. Everything else, from the salmon/halibut fritters to the abelskiver dessert, was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JamesVIPDined on 11/25/2014Great nordic cuisine with plenty of choices at moderate prices. Service was slow because of full house attending local events at 7:30pm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Waitress was surly and condescendingStephenLVIPDined on 11/25/2014Waitress was surly and condescending, got my drink order incorrect, food had no subtlety and was overwhelmed with anise. Poor value for the service and food. My dinner companion agreed about his entree and over prices starter and main course
- Lovely!TheRabbitVIPDined on 11/22/2014The food, the decor and the service all shined in this lovely spot. Check it out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Creative and deliciousPlajDined on 11/18/2014The service was good, but only met my expectations for a restaurant in this price range. The food, however, was both unique and creative. I especially love the wild boar belly. If you eat, consider this a must order item. The lobster tail was good, but didn't live up to the hype in my opinion. Plaj also features a great beer and cocktail selection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quite a stellar dining experience.OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 11/16/2014It's been quite a while since we've been this pleased dining out. We liken this place to a nordic Chez Panisse. The courses kept getting better as they came out. (It's always disappointing when the appetizer is the best thing in a restaurant.) The execution was perfect, the dishes were inventive with completely novel flavor profiles. Bravo.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious, hearty Scandinavian foodNinaVIPDined on 11/15/2014A very diverse and interesting menu of hearty gourmet Scandinavian foods. I highly recommend the potato dumplings and the Swedish meatballs--you won't be disappointed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We are hooked!LiveToEatVIPDined on 11/14/2014This was our first time at Plaj and we are definitely putting it on our personal list of best foods in the Bay Area. We love the menu in the way the choices are categorized. We loved the choices available, we love the presentation of the food and the beautiful ingredients that are so well executed. We can't rave enough about it. As a matter of fact, I just made a reservation for my aunt's birthday dinner next month.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service way below usualsuttercreekDined on 11/13/2014We have eaten here before, we really enjoy the Scandinavian menu as it is quite different from the mainstream Calif foodie experience. However, on this night the service was really suffering. Our waitress disappeared, it took forever for our order to be taken, very difficult to get the wine ordered, service so slow that even though they knew we had a curtain across the street at the Opera house they did not ask us about dessert until it was too late to order any of the special desserts. Based on this we will think long and hard before we go to PLAJ again. Hoping for the sake of their business that this was an unusual blip in the service and they'll return to their usual format soon!Special Features:
- Pre-opera dineravercampVIPDined on 11/13/2014This restaurant has some good dishes, but the menu is just too difficult to order a small to medium dinner. We received no help from the waitress at all. There are a number of small plates but some of them are very similar, and there are very few entrees.
- Try itOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 11/13/2014Our first visit was very pleasant. All aspects were well done and the Swedish pancakes themselves are worth a return visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MangoVIPDined on 11/12/2014Plaj has all the elements of a fantastic dining experience. The ambience is warm and inviting. Tables are spaced far enough apart and the noise level is low. The food was incredibky good. We ordered the burrata salad which was one of the stars of the night. The braised ox beef cheeks are meltingly tender, the poached lobster with lobster foam divine, and the aebelskiver with butter and cloudberry jam delicious to end this thoroyghly experience. Kudos to PlajSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Treasure of TasteskalianderVIPDined on 11/10/2014The food at Plaj is a feast of multiple tastes. Each dish differed from the last and all were presented beautifully and artistically. The service was superb. A perfect place for a romantic, quiet dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Inventive food and cocktailstastyDined on 11/9/2014The ambiance with dark wood, mirrors to enhance spaciousness is so containing. The we'll prepared food is interesting and unusual. (Elk and Boar) The cocktails contained spices such as cardoman (delicious) and other drinks are a quality with different flavors. A very special dining experience moderately priced for a Special Occasion. Each day we breath in and out is a special occasion. Sheila Zarb-Harper,Ph.DSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent foodsigridDined on 11/6/2014Good great ratings for the interior design, but that was a bit disappointing. Rather old fashioned. Drinks excellent. Menu very interesting with Swedish background but the upscale twist with the very fresh ingredients made it beautiful food. Also, menu not too overwhelming. Service, by all waiters with Swedish heritage, also very well.Special Features:
- Best dinner in many yearsOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 11/4/2014The dining experience was elegant and the food more than delicious. The chef is so creative in bringing together wonderful flavors that you wouldn't think of and lovely textures to make this one of the best meals three of us have ever had. We tasted six dishes among us and can report that all six were out of this world.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnderstaffedgregorioVIPDined on 11/4/2014I have dined here six times with enjoyed all but the last. There is a large pre-theater surge and it definitely got in the way this time. Had to wait 30 minutes for second course and had to remind server twice to bring bill as we were off to theater----having told her this upon arrival, too. Finally, wine-by-the-glass red bordeaux had been opened too long and was dull and oxidized. Would have sent back but server was hard to track down. Too bad---it has been reliably good and different from other restaurants.
- Better the Second Time AroundBJTravelerDined on 11/3/2014This was our second visit, and while we enjoyed dinner the first time, everything seemed/tasted better the second time around. The variety, quality, presentation and taste of all four dishes was outstanding.Special Features:
- Excellent DiningJack1938VIPDined on 11/1/2014My friend and I have dined here several times before the opera. Always enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a winner!Roo2614Dined on 10/30/2014We visited Plaj on e again! It was again a perfect evening! Service, food, ambiance, and not exaggerated prices! We will return again and again! This restaurant is a winner!Special Features:
- Creative, modern Scandinavian FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 10/29/2014Don't miss the terrific cocktails ( gloved the Rye and Cucumber!) or the special twist on warm chocolate cake dessert. Wonderful service, new combinations of flavors, lovely ambience. Well worth the visit - a place to celebrate for 2 or a small group.Special Features:
- Excellent Scandinavian theme foodpH123VIPDined on 10/26/2014It's minutes walk from the opera/symphony and in a small hotel. The menu is organized into groups of small and some larger plates listed under Day, Garden, Fjord and Beta. I didn't fully understand the groupings, but in each were both the well known and something eclectic. Under Fjord: herring and several preparations of salmon. Beta: chicken, elk saddle, sweetbreads & very good charcuterie . All plates are larger than I expected and all are superbly presented. Service was impeccable and the setting quiet and delightful. Wines were good and there are unusual cocktails. Not just for a pre or post performance event, I'd go back in a heartbeat. Among my favorite restaurants of the past year.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pläj was just okay.MikkoDined on 10/26/2014The drinks were great! The food on the other hand was on the verge of bland. Suppose that goes with the territory, but does not need to. The Alaskan halibut was cooked to perfection, but the rest of the meal was under seasoned.Special Features:
- SuperbHagoratDined on 10/25/2014Food was fantastic. Drinks awesome. I'll return for sure.Special Features:
- Love it!!! Foods are divine!mccoyDined on 10/25/2014Scandinavian gem in the city!! Fast service! It arouses multiple senses while dining!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JUST A GEM!!!sheridanaVIPDined on 10/24/2014While we have eaten here at least 10++++ times, we are always delighted with everything. Food is great, service is attentive and warm, ambiance unusually charming!!! I almost don't want to TELL anyone, as I will never get in again!! Love this placeSpecial Features:
- One of sf's best restaurantsAbbyDined on 10/24/2014Food and restaurants in San Francisco tend to underwhelm me. Prescribing to routine and falling deep into the haze of "California cuisine". Plaj is different. Yes it's "ingredient driven" and sure one could consider it "cuisine from California" but it's also much much more. Are first dish, hearing, salty and strong was brightened with yogurt and citrus then softened with fresh dill. Everything we ate was like this, flavors developing like great dancers; Pushing and pulling, cutting in with perfect timing, never tripping and always on point. If your unwilling to break your routine stick with Nopa or Zuni or Flour and Water or AQ or commonwealth or any restaurant in the mission with loud music and an open kitchen. For memorable goto plajSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Suomi1Dined on 10/23/2014Interesting combinations of foods on the platters. Grav lox was good, but I did not care for rye crumbs with it. I am from Finland and nuts about anything rye, but crumbs were dry and boring. A piece of good rye bread would have been much better. I also expected MORE real Scandinavian cuisine. Herring was outstanding, pork belly was very moist and had a lot of favor. Others ordered halibut and were very pleased. Apple cobbler melted in the mouth. Service was technically good, but the waitress was a bit cold and humorless. This was a first restaurant we have visited in a few years where we actually had a real conversation with normal voices without shouting and going deaf. How pleasant and refreshing. We will visit again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MarionDined on 10/22/2014As usual dining at Plaj is always a pleasure. The wait staff is very professional and attentive and the food is served at the proper temperature with an explanation of each item.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Accentuated Swedish cuisineLocaldinerDined on 10/21/2014The food is fabulous utilizing local farm fresh produce, meets, and cheeses. The rye bread is reminiscent of the Swedish rye bread my grandmother would make - it is fabulous! I found the food to be the best flavors from the old world but in generous portions sized for the New World. Yum, Yum, Yum Elegant, fresh, authentic, nouveau, and traditional!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food, slow serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/21/2014Food was fabulous, will try again but after informing staff we had tickets for the opera and limited time for our meal, service was slow to take our order, slow delivering dishes and so slow we had no time to order desserts which we were looking forward to sampling.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PeggyVIPDined on 10/20/2014I didn't realize how much I like Scandanavian flavors. Best pickled herring, ever! And the poached salmon was absolutely lovely, to look at and to eat.Special Features:
- Scandinavian Delight!JrcinmsVIPDined on 10/18/2014What a treat to find a Swedish restaurant in San Francisco when we were there to support our daughter's first half marathon. She had studied for 6 months in Sweden and enjoyed the trip down culinary memory lane! The place is near the theater and opera so there was a crowd there early to make their dates. As we were lingering, it quieted down and then reenergized a bit afterward. The food is mostly in small plates, good for sharing. We enjoyed it all but the lobster dish stood out. Too full for dessert, but they had some delicious sounding ones!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love itDonfVIPDined on 10/18/2014Always a great experience eating at Plaj. The evening it was packed because of three shows in the area but somehow service didn't suffer. WEll run restaurant.Special Features:
- Going back for more...!Roo2614Dined on 10/17/2014We have been to Plaj before, this time we took friends since our previous experience was so great! Plaj did not disappoint us. The food was as good as ever! Our friends who are from the Scandanavian region were pleasantly surprised and they will go again to try more delicious dishes. We are going again, in a bout two weeks, with more friends and we know that the food, the service and the ambiance will impress them. Good job Plaj! We are coming back for more!Special Features:
- Very good Scandinavian restaurantavercampVIPDined on 10/15/2014Most of the dishes we tried in two visits were very good. The menu is quite confusing however.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best herring everAnnaMarieDined on 10/11/2014Main menu is excellent - diverse, seasonal, fresh. Wonderful takes on Scandanavian classics, especially the herring 3 ways. Aebelskivers (dessert) delicious and fun, but the rest of the desserts were just ok.
- Always Wonderful!OpinionatedVIPDined on 10/10/2014I start to wonder if I have Nordic in my blood, there are so many things on the menu I want, and so many things I eat that are delicious. So many different textures and flavors, a lot of vegetable dishes. Overall YUM!Special Features:
- A culinary journeyEatWithEmDined on 10/10/2014The Blood Pudding was delicious. My date and I agreed that it was probably the best dish we ordered. In addition to that, we had the Fried Lefse, in house Bread, Poached lobster w/ skagen and caviar and the halibut. All were delicious and unique (to my palate). The menu warns you that the plates are to be shared and not large, but we thought they were medium sized and walked out overstuffed (but happy). You have to walk through a hotel lobby to get to the restaurant, . Location is great if you are going to the symphony (like we were); however, remember to let your server know that. Mine knew it and still didn't bring all our dishes at once (he claimed there wasn't enough room at the table). All in all a wonderful experience.Special Features:
- Consistently greatOverservedVIPDined on 10/10/2014This place is always innovating and offering new twists on old favorite, like smoked salmon. The bread is to die for and I always look forward to their cocktail list.Special Features:

The left-leaning school and its smarter than thou professors are allowing this religious side show to take place, knowing that Catholics will be offended. I guess calling the event a Black Ma'ariv, or a Black Sharcharit (Both Jewish terms for service) is not a s sexy as calling it a Black Mass.

Do you books "nicer/sigs" at start or end of hols?
we are doing the ddp and are there for 14 nights, included in this will be the obligatory (but not amazing) character meals at CM etc, nicer places (imho) like Boma, ohanas and YSH.
i was wondering how you OCD planners organised your meal scedules? i have always teamed restaurants with parks, but was wondering if i should scedule better eateries at the start (we will enjoy them more, as its all "new"... or wait til the end of the holiday... let the food crushendo and eat buffets earlier so we get our moneys worth out of them (and none of the "meal was better at XXXX like last time:thumbsup2
so my WDW nuts... whats your thoughts??
ps my kids will eat most stuff but have very eclectic tastes in food, and appreciate good food, their fav is lecellier but we are skipping that this year to try a few new places xx
I plan signatures first to go ahead and get them over with so we can relax and dress down the rest of the trip.
We spread ours out throughout the trip, although we prefer to have dinner each night at a signature. We figure out our itinerary before we decide on dining and then adjust our dining to fit our park schedule, that way we aren't running around trying to make it to an ADR that is far away. When we are on the DXDP I do a sit down lunch (1 credit) and a Signature dinner with the exception of our DHS day where we do a signature lunch (Brown Derby) and then 'Ohana that evening.(family tradition)
Most of our dinners at done at Signatures, so they are spread throughout the vacation. But the nicest of the nice dinners are usually done in the middle of the trip when we either take a day off from the parks, or spend a leisurely day at AK where we know that we will be out of the park around 5:00 giving us plenty of time to shower and dress appropriately.
We used to always plan a signature dinner for our arrival night, but now that we live so far away and a credit card guarantee is required, we've ended that tradition. There are just too many variables with air travel and our later-than-we-would-like arrival times. Other than that, we'll happily eat at a signature restaurant (or its lounge) at any point during our visit.
we are unsure yet whether we will fly in on check in day (in which case we ll do a cs at dtd for speed) but if we travel in the day before and check into a cheap hotel for the night we thought about doing the GFC the first night, which ll gve the kids an idea of what to expect at a sig.... they have eaten nearly everywhere at non sig meals and have always behaved but hey... you never know!!;)
as for advice, you all do different things lmao... what did i expect???
We like to schedule character meals as close to our arrival as possible (usually the night we arrive, or breakfast on the first morning). This way the kids can see most of their favorites (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, and the Princesses) early in the trip and we don't have to spend a lot of time in the parks waiting on lines throughout our stay.
Our signature meals are usually spread throughout the trip, but we always like to plan one special dinner for our last night, followed by a final viewing of Wishes at the Magic Kingdom. For us, it's a nice way to celebrate as a family.
We also do signatures nightly. We do Victoria & Alberts (the only really dressy one) on our last night because it's so much food that I'm only capable of sitting the next day for the long flight back to the west coast!
DH and I try to do the place WE want to eat at the most on the first night or very early in the trip. This came about after the 'sick' year, when both kids came down with the 24 hr. stomach bug--on 2 different days :eek: and caused us to miss the reservation we were most looking forward to. Other than that, we try to match parks/restaurants, alternate character meals with regular meals so no one OD's on the characters. We're also planning to do a character breakfast on our last day as a nice memory.
IMHO paring parks and meals is the best way to go. I can not justify wasting precious park time to trek to the other side of the property for a meal. Maybe one night for a special meal but certainly not every night.
We usually use are AK day as our wild card for dinner. We aren't interested in any of the AK restaurants or Boma & Jiko. Yes I realize that statement is going to be met with shock and horror by some. What can I say the menus just don't appeal to us.
Another thing I usually do is put together a dream schedule (park days are scheduled around EMH/special events and ADR) DH and I will go through it and pick out our must haves for the trip and adjust accordingly.
We do a table service daily for lunch and a signature restaurant for dinner. Works out great for us.

Re: Considering doing Live Aboard. (Need Advise)
I have lived aboard a 42 foot trimaran with some home comforts, namely a gas got water system and electric heating and cooling, but I lived on a berth with water and power supplied. It was like living in an apartment at a fraction of the rent and with far better views--and one did not need a car as I could walk to the shops and the pub was within staggering distance. I loved it--especially the bit where I could pull in breakfast while slurping on an evening beer or two--or three----------n.
There were intermittent moments of concern though--when cyclones loom one has to escape to the nearest wooded mangrove lined creek and tie off with nylon warps--and set anchors. Cyclones are the only grit in the Vaseline of an otherwise idyllic existence.

Prof. James Davison Hunter
About this title: The call to make the world a better place is inherent in the Christian belief and practice. But why have efforts to change the world by Christians so often failed or gone tragically awry? And how might Christians in the 21st century live in ways that have integrity with their traditions and are more truly transformative? In To Change the World, James Davison Hunter offers persuasive--and provocative--answers to these questions. Hunter begins with a penetrating appraisal of the most popular models of world-changing among ...

The Smithsonian opened registration Wednesday to attend a special lecture held by famed game designer Hideo Kojima. This conversation with Kojima will take place on the second day of the Smithsonian's Game Fest, a three day festival kicking off the museum's new The Art of Video Games exhibit. Game Fest begins Friday, March 16 in Washington DC.
If there ever was hesitation around attending this event, the Smithsonian seeks to dispel not only with the confirmation of Kojima but also with the price of attendance — free.
Other panels will include design and development notables like Ken Levine (BioShock, System Shock 2), RJ Mical (LittleBigPlanet 2, God of War III) and Kellee Santiago (Guitar Hero, Q.U.B.E.). In addition, attendees will be treated to screenings of the original TRON and The King of Kong.
The Art of Video Games exhibit will feature games spanning from the early 1980′s to now. Attendees will get a behind the scenes look at design documents, learn insights from top developers and, of course, play. A list of featured games can be found here.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Depending on the size and scope of an emergency, first responders may not be able to reach you or your neighbors immediately. That's where you can help.
"We had a lot of wind, rain, very scary," recalled long-time Cape Coral resident Eileyn Sobeck-Bador about what happened on Friday, August 13, 2004.
"We did lose-- during Charley-- electricity for at least 10 days. That was a challenge," she remembered.
Also a challenge? Housing her friends from Punta Gorda, newlyweds who lost everything in the category 4 hurricane.
While Eileyn's family was prepared to weather the storm, she wasn't prepared for what came next.
"We were not expecting to go to Lowes and find the National Guard there. That was a shock. We were not prepared to have to wait weeks to get a generator," she explained.
Now, Eileyn is prepared for whatever happens before, during or after a storm. She's part of of Cape Coral's Community Emergency Response Team, or CERT, for short. She, along with her husband, two friends, and her bank teller, signed up for a free training course to become CERT certified.
With the training she and her friends received, she is now prepared to assist first responders in emergency situations, whatever that emergency may be. And CERT volunteers in Cape Coral do everything from helping to run shelters, to fielding phone calls before a storm. After a storm, they can assist their neighbors.
"Our CERT volunteers are people who don't give of their money, they give of their time," explained Cape Coral Fire Chief Timothy Hayes. "We could not operate without these folks."
As for Eileyn, becoming CERT certified was a natural step for someone who enjoys helping her neighbors.
"This is at a level I think I will be a big benefit to someone in a time of crisis," she said.

How to reference a predefined selection of files
I'm looking for a way to quickly reference a predefined selection of files.
For example, folder "Photos" contains:
In another folder, "Best of Photos", I want to reference a few of the photos in "Photos". I say 'reference' because I don't want to actually move or copy any files from "Photos" to "Best of Photos".
One way to do it would be to create several shortcuts, one for each selected photo, and place them in "Best of Photos". The downside is that it can become a mess when there are many selected photos.
A different way would be to use a saved Windows Search. I could use the query "1 OR 2 OR 4 OR 8" and than save the Windows Search to the "Best of Photos" folder. In theory it's an elegant solution but as soon as there are more than about 80 OR's this method no longer works.
The way I'm currently doing it is by adding some sort of suffix to the selected photos filename, e.g. 1_SEL.jpg and then searching for SEL to select the right photos. This is probably the best solution I've come up with, but it's not ideal since I prefer to keep the filenames untouched.
Would there be a better solution to this problems than the ones I've come up with?
Thanks in advance!

Use a Library. Help/Using Libraries. There may even be a tutorial on it on this forum.
Library - Include a Folder
|My System Specs

yup if you include your folder in the Pictures library per the tutorial above, you will not need to move nor copy its contents and will be listed along with Pictures.
You may also create a new library for the selected folder too. New Library - Create

This seems like the easiest way:
Tag pictures so they're easier to find

Thanks for your quick replies!
I'm afraid the libraries approach is the wrong approach in this case. It's hard to explain so I'll adjust the example a little bit so you know what I want to do.
Say, the folder "Photos" is called "Holiday 2012" and the "Best of Photos" is called "Panoramas". In "Panoramas" I've created several panoramas from some of the photos in the first mentioned folder. I'd like to reference these photos from within in the "Panoramas" folder so I can quickly see the original photos that make up the panorama.
To avoid any confusion, the "Holiday 2012" folder must physically contain all the photo files. Other folders, like "Panoramas" can only reference files from this folder. There are of course many folders such as "Holiday 2012" and in most cases, none of the files are referenced at all. Only when I happened to have created a selection or panorama.
I hope this makes it clear, so you can decide if the libraries approach is still the best way to go.
I've looked into the tag method before: it's sort of the official method to do this kind of thing. The big problem for me is that it rewrites the file (e.g. changes the modified date) whereas a name change keeps the file as it is.
Once again, I appreciate the help!
|My System Specs

I guess we need to know what exactly you mean by "reference"?
|My System Specs
|26 Sep 2012
"Reference" as in: click on shortcut -> go to selection of files.
|My System Specs
|26 Sep 2012
Please take a look at the Windows Library system. IMHO it is what you are looking for.
Libraries - Windows 7 features - Microsoft Windows
|My System Specs
|26 Sep 2012
But what should then be the library? As I said, I want store all the photos physically in "Holiday 2012" so that has to be a normal folder. Creating a library in "Panoramas" makes little since either since I want to reference several files instead of several folders.
|My System Specs
|26 Sep 2012
I have been doing some reading on this Library option and no where can I find any reference to adding individual files to a Library, only folders to a Library. Which IMHO is Just Stupid. If I already have the Data, Files, I want in one location for easy viewing and accessing, in a folder someplace on one of the drives on my computer, why in hell do I need to included that folder in a Library.
I should be able to add individual files from multiple folders anywhere on my local or networked drives to a Library. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Sorry for the confusion but as it now seems the Win Library system may not be what you want.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- (Marketwire) -- 01/08/13 -- Health Catalyst (formerly Healthcare Quality Catalyst), the leader in healthcare data warehousing, today announced it closed $33 million in Series B funding, led by Norwest Venture Partners (NVP), with participation from Sequoia Capital (Series A lead investor) and Sorenson Capital. The Health Catalyst platform brings a new paradigm to the rapidly growing market for healthcare performance improvement, enabling hospitals and health systems of any size to better manage the coming cuts in Medicare and Medicaid rates, and more easily shift to managing patient populations under new care models.
Health Catalyst has more than doubled in size in each of the past three years while expanding its product line from eight stand-alone solutions to a platform of more than 40 integrated products. The company's agile, healthcare-specific data warehousing platform is utilized in the care of more than 20 million patients, including at Allina Health, Indiana University Health, MultiCare Health System, North Memorial Health Care, Providence Health & Services, Stanford Hospital and Clinics, and Texas Children's Hospital. In the last year, a majority of Health Catalyst's existing clients have dramatically expanded their original relationships with the company as a result of the rapid return on investment from their initial work together.
CLICK TO TWEET: #EDW Health Catalyst Announces $33 Million funding round led by @NorwestVP, and @Sequoia_Capital.
As part of this Series B investment, Promod Haque, managing partner at Norwest Venture Partners (NVP), will join the board of Health Catalyst, with Fraser Bullock, co-founder and managing director of Sorenson Capital, participating as a board observer.
"Almost every hospital and hospital system will need a data warehouse to organize, visualize and utilize its data to address the $750 billion of waste in the U.S. healthcare system," said NVP's Haque. "Health Catalyst not only offers a best-in-class solution to meet this growing need, but it boasts a stellar list of referenceable customers with quantifiable results and a pipeline of health systems that are demanding the company's solutions. The management team collectively brings more than 340 years of successful healthcare data warehouse experience to the table and has done a stellar job building an outstanding company and technology platform. We look forward to partnering with the team to help grow the company further."
Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst, said, "Health Catalyst is well-positioned to continue to partner with the country's largest and most advanced health systems, as well as offer smaller health systems and individual hospitals a turnkey solution using the same platform and architecture. We are grateful for the market validation of the effectiveness of our platform and we will be using the funding to continue to invest deeply in our technology, services, and people to support our clients in their continued progression towards being data driven organizations."
Health Catalyst's technology platform meets the need for more effective data management and analytics capabilities as health systems are required to adjust to new shared-risk payment models. Hospitals of all sizes can better leverage their investments in electronic health records (EHRs) to more effectively measure quality outcomes, meet regulatory and financial incentive reporting requirements, standardize around the best, safest care practices, and eliminate waste.
Developed by healthcare and data warehousing veterans, Health Catalyst's platform is designed for integrating and analyzing complex operational, financial, clinical, and research data. Health Catalyst's approach has helped large, integrated delivery networks and smaller hospitals alike improve quality outcomes while simultaneously realizing millions of dollars in cost savings from improvements in areas such as length of stay, readmission rates, reduction in unnecessary procedures and prevention of patient injury.
"The market has reached a clear inflection point. While most large healthcare organizations have crossed the first hurdle to capture medical records electronically, many are still struggling to turn that information into real improvements," said Michael Dixon, partner at Sequoia Capital and a Health Catalyst board member. "Health Catalyst is helping their clients overcome these challenges and harness their data to save money, meet compliance needs, and most importantly, improve the health of patients. We're excited to continue our partnership with them as they expand their business."
Bullock of Sorenson Capital commented, "We understand Health Catalyst's roots. Having invested in companies here in the Salt Lake Valley for many years, we know the caliber of folks at Health Catalyst and have witnessed their success as leaders previously at nationally-recognized health systems like Intermountain Healthcare and Northwestern. We are thrilled to help Health Catalyst continue in its growth."

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management.
