Health Information Technology.
AGENCY:
Notice.
The Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information
Technology (ONC) and the Department
of Veterans Affairs are working to
empower individuals to be partners in
their health through health information
technology (health IT). Giving patients
access to information about them related
to the care they receive from doctors
and other healthcare providers is in
itself valuable, but it is also important
to enable patients to use that
information to make informed
decisions.
Individuals should be able to access
and use their basic health information
together with other information to take
action: To better understand their
current health status, use decision
support software to choose treatments,
anticipate and consider the costs of
different options, and target and modify
the everyday behaviors that have the
greatest impact on their health. Inspired
by the well-known ‘‘three-part aim’’ for
improvement of the health care system,
this challenge requires participants to
help individuals to take action based on
combining their health information with
additional information that puts it into
a more meaningful context.
The statutory authority for this
challenge competition is Section 105 of
the America COMPETES
Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111–358).

Subject of Challenge Competition
This challenge builds on a prior Blue
Button challenge to make personal
health information more usable and
meaningful for the individual consumer
or patient. Apps must be platform
neutral. The challenge is broken into
two parts:
1. App Development: Entrants must
submit an app that makes the best use
of Blue Button downloaded personal
health data and combines it with other
types of data. Apps must include data
from at least two of the three part aim
categories below.
2. Reach: The app must be able to
garner high patient engagement rates.
Entrants will therefore have to
demonstrate a partnership with a
personal health information data
holding organization (such as a
provider, payor, or Personal Health
Record vendor—see healthit.gov/pledge
for a definition of a data holding
organization) to achieve wide
distribution among patients.
Applying the Three Part Aim: To
participate in the challenge, entrants
must mash up Blue Button data—data
about a patient which the patient can
download directly using a health plan’s,
doctor’s or hospital’s Blue Button
function—with information from two or
more of the three part aim categories.
Below are examples of types of
contextual data that would qualify for
purposes of this contest. Entrants can
use data sets from the categories below
or similar data sets.
Components of the Three Part Aim
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Part 1: Better Care Interactions With the
Healthcare System
• Assist individuals in choosing high
quality care that is relevant to their
individual needs by including ratings
for physician comparisons, hospital
comparisons, or other care quality data.
• Assist individuals in identifying
providers, practices, and hospitals that
are health information technology
enabled by using information from CMS
related to Meaningful Use or other
sources.
• Support individuals in
understanding their current state of
health by combining clinical data and
medical claims data to create a
comprehensive list of the individual’s
medical conditions.
• Support individuals in
understanding their current medication
regimen by aggregating clinical data
from doctors/hospitals, prescription
claims data, and downloaded clinical
data to create a single comprehensive
list of medications.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
Part 2: Better Care for Oneself Outside
of the Healthcare System
• Provide support to help an
individual meet some of their
personally stated health goals, (for
example related to healthy eating,
exercise, social support, or other virtual
or geographically based resources).
• Provide an easily understood
representation of an individual’s health
status in comparisons to others of a
similar demographic (age, gender,
ethnicity, or otherwise), and make
recommendations for actionable things
an individual could do toward better
health outcomes based on their
comparative health data.
• Extrapolate how healthy behavior
change can lead to positive health
outcomes over time (for example show
potential weight loss and reduced risk
of cardiac illness from adding two 30
minute walks per week)
Part 3: Reduced Costs
• Provide information related to costs
of relevant health care services
(treatments, procedures, medication
formularies, etc.) and/or financial
savings likely to accrue from behavior
changes.
• Create algorithms that exhibit cost
savings to the individual and/or the
health care system if the individual
makes healthy living interventions, or
different cost related choices in their
health care.

Platform (HDP) is a flagship initiative
and focal point helping to establish
learning communities that
collaboratively evolve and mature the
utility and usability of a broad range of
health and human service data. HDP
will deliver greater potential for new
data driven insights into complex
interactions of health and health care
services. To augment the HDP effort,
seven complementary challenges will
encourage innovation around initial
platform- and domain-specific priority
areas, fostering opportunities to tap the
creativity of entrepreneurs and
productivity of developers.
The ‘‘Health Data Platform Metadata
Challenge’’ requests the application of
existing voluntary consensus standards
for metadata common to all open
government data, and invites new
designs for health domain specific
metadata to classify datasets in our
growing catalog, creating entities,
attributes and relations that form the
foundations for better discovery,
integration and liquidity.
The statutory authority for this
challenge competition is Section 105 of
the America COMPETES
Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Subject of Challenge Competition
The W3C has a number of standard
vocabulary recommendations for Linked
Data publishers, defining cross domain
semantic metadata of open government
data, including concept schemes,
provenance, statistics, organizations,
people, data catalogs and their holdings,
linked data assets, and geospatial data,
in addition to the foundational
standards of the Web of Data (such as
HTTP, XML, RDF and various
serializations, SPARQL, OWL, etc).
Other voluntary consensus standards
development organizations are also
making valuable contributions to open
standards for Linked Data publishers,
such as the emerging GeoSPARQL
standard from the Open Geospatial
Consortium.
In some cases, the entities and
relations in these vocabulary standards
are expressed using UML class diagrams
as an abstract syntax, then automatically
translated into various concrete
syntaxes like XML Schemas and RDF
Schemas, which also makes many of the
standards from the Object Management
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
33739
Group easy to express as RDF Schemas,
such as those that describe business
motivation (including but not limited to
vision, mission, strategies, tactics, goals,
objectives), service orientation, process
automation, systems integration, and
other government specific standards.
Oftentimes there exist domain specific
standards organizations, with standards
products that express domain specific
entities and relations, such as those for
the health or environmental sectors. The
Data.gov PMO has recently stood up a
site to collect these standards when
expressed as RDF Schemas for use by
the growing community of Government
Linked Data publishers, which includes
HHS/CMS, EPA, DOE/NREL, USDA,
and the Library of Congress.
The challenge winner will
demonstrate the application of
voluntary consensus and de facto cross
domain and domain specific standards,
using as many of the HHS datasets
available on healthdata.gov as possible.
There are two objectives:
1. Apply existing standards as RDF
Schemas from voluntary consensus
standards organizations (W3C, OMG,
OGC, etc.) for expressing cross domain
metadata that is common to all open
government data.
2. Design new HHS domain specific
metadata based on the data made
available on healthdata.gov where no
RDF Schema is otherwise given or
available.
When designing new metadata
expressed as RDF Schemas, designers
should:
• Leverage existing data dictionaries
expressed as natural language in the
creation of new conceptual schemas, as
provided by domain authorities;
• Observe best practices for URI’s
schemes that is consistent with existing
healthdata.gov work (such as the
Clinical Quality Linked Data release
from HDI 2011); and
• Organize related concepts into
small, compose-able component
vocabularies.
Turtle syntax for RDFS and RDF is
preferred. The contributed code will be
given an open source license and
managed by HHS on github.com, with
copyright and attribution to the
developer(s) as appropriate, and will
ideally be used to populate
vocab.data.gov.
