Modern Healthcare (4/18, Conn, Subscription Publication) reports, "There are $300,000 in prizes up for grabs in a new, two-year healthcare data-analytics contest, but first, the sponsors of the competition want healthcare providers and others to identify their knottiest data difficulties so future contestants will have some meaningful problems to solve. 'Today, we call on the entire healthcare community-particularly those serving on the front lines in providing care-to submit the most difficult data challenges facing their organizations as they implement new models of care,' said Dr. Richard Merkin, president and CEO of contest co-sponsor Heritage Provider Network" in a press statement (pdf). The Marina del Rey, California-based "independent practice association, along with the Advisory Board, a healthcare consultancy, and the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington-based policy advocacy organization, are co-sponsors of what's being dubbed as the Care Transformation Prize Series."
