The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives is looking for a million-dollar breakthrough idea that can accurately match patients to their electronic medical records, preventing medical errors and reducing costs.
The professional association of hospital chief information officers announced Tuesday that it is offering $1 million for a method enabling providers, health information exchanges, and other organizations to automate the record matching system and ensure 100% accuracy. HeroX, an online platform to promote technology challenges, is collaborating with CHIME on the challenge.
