University of Utah Department of Biomedical Informatics Collaboration Selected in Phase 1 of ONC’s User Experience Challenge

We would like to congratulate University of Utah Health Care, Intermountain Healthcare, and Duke Health on being one of the four winners of the ONC Provider User Experience Challenge from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC).  The application was led by Dr. Kensaku Kawamoto, MD, PhD, MHS from the University of Utah.

"The Provider User Experience Challenge similarly promotes the use of FHIR, but focuses on demonstrating how data made accessible to apps through APIs can enhance providers’ experience with EHRs by making clinical workflows more intuitive, specific to clinical specialty, and actionable."
