Building a "Holy Cow Machine" for Healthcare
summary
HHS turns sealed datasets into usable downloads and developer challenges: the Community Health Data initiative posts open hospital, nursing home and dialysis data and in 82 days with 45 innovators produces dashboards, games and a Bing-integrated hospital search; Health2Challenge.org hosts 11 challenges. A simple Blue Button adds a one-click downloadable file for veterans and Medicare beneficiaries. The claim is that liberating data will cut duplication and coordinate care for the 5% of Medicare patients who consume 75% of costs and see 14 doctors a year.
