CDS Summer App Challenge 2017

This summer, we invite you to join our CDS app challenge and model a clinical decision support application that could contribute to enhancing tomorrow’s healthcare delivery while gaining you industry recognition and certification. In under 14 weeks, you will be walking from the start point of your idea or clinical concept, through archetypes, guidelines and views, to delivering a demo CDS application that will be assessed by our jury for your chance at our bouquet of prizes.

Update 2017-07-15: The maximum number of contestants for the challenge has been reached and registration is now closed. In case a position in the challenge becomes vacant, we will contact the first person on the waiting list (sign-up form available below). Thank you for showing interest in our clinical decision support challenge and we hope to see you again next year!

Rules

You must reside in one of the Nordic countries or the UK.
You may participate in the challenge individually or in a group of two.
Your submitted clinical model will be shared under open source, which by definition means the copyright holder grants public access with the right to study, modify and use the software.
You have from the 1st of June until the 30th of September to submit your finalized model, which will then be assessed by clinical relevance, accuracy, scientific bearing and technical stability.
The winner will be announced by October 25th.

The Jury

The jury to assess the submitted models and declare a winner consists of distinguished healthcare professionals who have all contributed to the enhancement of health IT. It includes prominent members of the openEHR community such as Dr. Ian McNicoll, Silje Ljosland Bakke and Rong Chen MD, PhD.
