Postponed:Proposed HealthCa.mp/OnFHIR, Baltimore Sept 15-16

May 31, 2016 By: ekivemark Category: News

[Editor’s Note: In my current role supporting CMS on the BlueButton on FHIR project I am limited in organizing HealthCa.mp events. Therefore, We must postpone the proposed 2nd HealthCa.mp/onfhir code-a-thon until an organization steps forward to help handle the logistics and financial aspects of such an event. If your organization would like to step into that role to support HealthCa.mp in organizing future events please email me: mark AT HealthCa DOT mp]

We are currently evaluating the feasibility of holding another FHIR Code-a-thon. This will be another opportunity to get hands on with the latest updates to the CMS BlueButton on FHIR data API.

HL7 International is coming to Baltimore for the next round of Workgroup meetings. The BlueButton team at CMS is looking for partners to help hold a Code-a-thon on the two days prior to the Workgroup meeting.

One of the uses of the CMS BlueButton on FHIR data API is for beneficiaries to choose to share their Medicare claims information with researchers. Consequently we are looking to host the September 15-16th FHIR Code-a-thon with a focus on creating solutions for the research community.

We are looking for partners to make this Code-a-thon happen. What do we need:

  1. A location (with good Internet access)
  2. Food and drink sponsors
  3. Marketing support and prize money sponsors

If you can help with any of these items we would love to talk with you. Please email me at mark@healthca.mp.

HealthCa.mp/onFHIR took place on April 1st and 2nd, 2016 in Washington, DC. The opening day was held in the Great Hall of the Department of Health and Human Services and was kicked off by Susannah Fox, Chief Technology Officer – HHS.

The event saw the first public access to a prototype CMS BlueButton on FHIR data API. The objective of the event was for teams to create applications that would put a beneficiary’s claims data to use for their better health.

HL7 FHIR

What is FHIR (pronounced “Fire“)?  The Fast Health Interoperability Resources specification is an open source, developer-friendly API for exchanging data in healthcare. FHIR brings together friendly REST APIs and structured data formats. FHIR is managed by the International HL7 standards organization. FHIR and the FHIR logo is trademark of, and licensed by, Health Level Seven International.

What is  HealthCa.mp/OnFHIR?

HealthCa.mp/onfhir is a two-day code-a-thon being held in conjunction with the HealthDataPalooza (to be held from May 7-11, 2016 in Washington DC).  This event is where developers from Federal and State-based organizations come together with Entrepreneurs, startups and research organizations to build cool solutions that leverage the HL7 FHIR API.

Come on your own or come as a team. Spend two days developing an innovative solution that uses FHIR and you could win a spot to present your work at the HealthDataPalooza in Washington DC in May 2016.
