eCR Public Health Partners,
We are excited to share information about the electronic case reporting (eCR) Healthcare Data Challenge, an initiative aimed at improving public health action by enabling healthcare organizations (HCOs) to accelerate the use of occupational data and other social determinants of health captured in healthcare settings through eCR. HCOs interested in participating in the Challenge are likely to reach out to public health agencies (PHAs) for collaboration or assistance. Participants will be evaluated, in part, on their communication and collaboration with jurisdictional PHA points of contact for eCR as well as occupational health programs.
Participants will also need to implement the collection of key, coded work information and the HL7® Consolidated Document Architecture (CDA) Electronic Initial Case Report (eICR) R3.1 standard as well as meet other Challenge requirements to be eligible for awards. Awardees can receive up to $150,000!
