Three Pennsylvania health systems chosen to participate
in Artificial Intelligence Health Outcomes Challenge
Geisinger, Hospital of the University of
Pennsylvania, and Jefferson Health were selected to participate in the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Artificial Intelligence Health Outcomes
Challenge, CMS recently announced.
The $1.65
million challenge aims to advance the development of AI solutions that assist
clinicians in predicting health outcomes and keeping patients healthy by
intervening before illness strikes.
The three
Pennsylvania health systems are among the 25 participants selected to advance
to Stage 1 of the challenge. The challenge was designed to engage all sectors,
and more than 300 proposals were submitted. Of the 25 participants selected,
six are hospitals and health systems.
Geisinger
submitted “Reducing Adverse Events and Avoidable Hospital Readmissions by
Empowering Clinicians and Patients.” Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania
submitted “The Intelligent Risk Project.” Jefferson Health submitted “Using AI
to Improve Medicare Population Health, Optimize Ambulatory Scheduling, and
Reduce Adverse Events at Hospitals.”
During Stage 1,
the selected teams will design and test their proposed solutions using Medicare
claims data sets.
Next spring, up
to seven finalists will advance to Stage 2 of the challenge and receive awards
of up to $60,000 each to continue working on their proposals.
Next year, CMS
will announce the winning project, along with an award of up to a million
dollars. The runner up will receive up to $230,000.
