ACL Challenge: Innovative Technology Solutions for Social Care Referrals - Phase 1 application
https://acl.gov/socialcarereferrals

The Administration for Community Living (ACL) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces a competition for state and community leaders in the aging and disability network, health care systems, health plans, and health IT vendors to cultivate care coordination by developing and/or optimizing interoperable and scalable technology solutions. Participants are invited to work collaboratively on enhancing scalable approaches to secure sharing of standardized data on social determinants and person-centered plans through the use of open resource directories that seamlessly connect and interoperate with health care system electronic health records to community-based organizations. This Challenge includes developing prototypes and implementing technical solutions that track referral patterns and gaps in service that visibly display social service and health-related outcomes over time.

Critical partners for designing solutions to this Challenge should include a team of key stakeholders. Strong preference will be given to teams that include state leaders across aging, disability, and Medicaid programs (or their designees), community-based organizations in the aging and disability networks, health IT developers, health care providers, health plans, and others with expertise in technical standards, interoperability, and data analysis.

The Challenge will compete in three phases, with cash prizes awarded in each phase. The total prize pool available is $500,000.
