BILLING CODE 6700–01–P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Announcement of Requirements and Registration for ‘‘Blue Button CoDesign Challenge’’ Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, HHS. ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: Award Approving Official: Farzad Mostashari, National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. SUMMARY: Blue Button Plus represents the technical standards and policy levers that help patients make use of their clinical and financial data in technology such as personal health records and health apps. All patients whose providers use Meaningful Use PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 33419 Stage 2 certified technology have the ability to view, download, and securely transmit their clinical data from their provider’s Electronic Health Record into another product or holding place of their choice. This is an enormous opportunity for patient-facing, data receiver applications that previously struggled to collect complete and accurate clinical data without manual patient entry. As part of the Department of Health and Human Services digital services strategy, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) is launching the Blue Button Co-Design Challenge, intended to increase the number of priority patient-facing applications able to receive clinical data via Blue Button Plus. The Challenge will also uniquely engage the patient community to teach us what patients most want to do with their clinical data by crowdsourcing application ideas and incorporating patients in product design. The Blue Button Co-Design Challenge builds upon previous ONC activities to support consumer health and patient access to their data. These include Challenges such as Blue Button for All Americans, the Blue Button Mash Up Challenge, and the Health Design Challenge. The statutory authority for this challenge competition is Section 105 of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–358). DATES: Patient Applications category: • June 3: Challenge announced at Health DataPalooza • August 5: End of Patient Applications submission period • September: Announce Patient Applications winners Open Source Developer Tools category: • June 3: Challenge announced at Health DataPalooza • July 8: End of Developer Tools submission period • July 22–26: Announce Developer Tools winners FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Adam Wong, 202–720–2866. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Subject of Challenge Competition The goals of the Blue Button CoDesign Challenge are: • Build support for Blue Button Plus by engaging three crucial communities: a.

Companies and application builders through a public competition and prize money c. Developers by rewarding open source developer tools that make it easier to build Blue Button Plus enabled applications • Expand our understanding of how patients want to use their clinical data, and what products they want to see developed. • Increase the number of fully enabled, Blue Button Plus tools and applications in areas of high priority for patients. In order to accomplish these goals, the challenge will award prizes in two separate categories: 1. The Patient Applications category will use crowd sourced application ideas as the topics for application development. From the launch of the challenge to June 7, anyone may post ideas for applications (no more than 75 words), focusing on the use of patient data enabled by Blue Button, on the ideation forum. Concurrently, the public will have until June 11 to vote on their favorite ideas, the top three of which will be announced as the topics for the patient applications and integrated into the submission review criteria. Submissions must be posted on a codesign Web site where entrants will participate in the co-design process, incorporating public input and feedback with potential end users, patients, and patient advocates. First, second, and third place awards will be given to the three best applications. To be eligible to receive a prize, applications submitted must: • Demonstrate use of Blue Button Plus to receive patient clinical or financial data into an existing or new application • Display the Blue Button logo • Include a slide deck that describes how patients would use this application, which of the crowdsourced product ideas inspired this application, and how patient co-design impacted the final product. 2. The Open Source Developer Tools category is intended to ease the implementation of Blue Button Plus for future applications, and engage developers around standards such as consolidated CDA and DIRECT. Three winners will receive awards and the winning tools will be made available through open source licenses.
