Brainstorming: Harnessing the Power of Data to Improve Health
One Day: 50 health policy & tech developer experts !brainstorm, be inspired and drive action:
• Brainstorm most powerful and innovative ideas
• Form teams & commit to activating the best ideas within 90 days
• What started as a 1 day event has turned into a much broader effort

Mission: Harness the power of community health data for the benefit of all Americans”. CHDI
was launched on March 11th 2010 as an experiment in understanding how people might use
the data being released.
12. brainstorm ! commit ! implement & build
Examples of innovative applications

13. How do you bring data to the fingertips of consumers?
Microsoft Bing announced its latest effort to bring CHDI to the public by
incorporating Hospital Compare data into its search functionality
14. Challenge Example: How do you make raw data useful?
• Winner of Blue Button challenge (www.health2challenge.org)
• Contest funded through partnership between RWJF and Markle Foundation

How and where do you build community?
Launching an External Innovation Platform: www.health2challenge.org
• Partnered with Health 2.0 to launch a website to host challenges, innovation gallery and more
• Launched with over 12 challenges sponsored by: the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation,
Markle Foundation, California Health Care Foundation, HHS, Practice Fusion, West Wireless
Health Institute and others.
• Leverages power of prizes and challenges and team competitions
• Creates a “home” for a network of developers, government agencies, community
organizations, foundations, and companies
• Creates an environment where events become “results engines”
• Over 12 challenges launched, 83 teams
• 5 in person code-a-thons with average of 120+ people, dozens of teams formed
22. • Release Data:
HHS, USG, Private Sector (Gallup, First DataBank)
• Brainstorming (March 11th, 2010):
Prestigious host: Institute of Medicine (IOM)
Teams: mixture of start-ups, major companies, non-profits, individual
innovators
• Build Applications (June 2nd, 2010):
IOM as host, HHS and White House as convener
• Catalyze & Build Community:
PPP with Health 2.0, IOM. Health 2.0 Developer Challenge launched 12
challenges with many partners; Code-a-thon partners include Google,
HealthTap, Georgetown, Microsoft NERD, Make Magazine, others.
Design Framework (partnerships key to success):
23. Essential Ingredients of Success
• Team:
– Dedicated team of 3 people with senior leadership support and vision
– Strong project management skills and ability to connect across sectors
• Brainstorming:
– Partnerships from the beginning with outside non-profits to help convene, network and create a
lightweight consortium and get people vested from the start
– Create mashups of experts and non-traditionalists who can build something
– Open Framework: ask people to make a commitment and contribution to the public good
• Building the Ecosystem and Community:
– Welcome everyone (the small guy: start-ups, non-profits, solo entrepreneurs)
– Provide a “home”: hhs.gov/open AND health2challenge.org
– Use “Prizes and Challenges” to drive results and action and give new partners a channel to do
something concrete (health2challenge.org)
– Find a nimble/agile external group with a strong network (e.g. Health 2.0)
– Use events to engage people (health innovation week, conferences) and create results (code-a-
thons)
– Find champions and create ambassadors (data and community ambassadors)
– Tap into social media (twitter) and blogger/journalist leaders
24. What was the timeline?

– Private sector has come forward to contribute data
• Created partnerships
– HHS and Institute of Medicine (IOM)
– HHS and Health 2.0
– Foundations and private sector companies and Health 2.0
• Created Challenge Platform (with Health 2.0): www.health2challenge.org
– Platform to launch online challenges (over 12 challenges including Blue Button)
– Network of developers
– Network of funders, teams, innovators
– In person code-a-thons
• Created www.HealthData.gov

Challenge: Agencies are putting out large amounts of data. How to
translate this raw information into useful knowledge and tools?
Solution: Convene the data-savvy community with passion for the topic.
Elements of CHDI
• STEP 1: Publish raw data online in one place
• STEP 2: Convene subject matter and data rock stars along with technology
experts and innovators to brainstorm creative uses
• STEP 3: Commit to a major event (in front of the Secretary) to showcase the
tools built using the data
• STEP 4: Partner from the beginning, build an external platform, host smaller
future events (code-a-thons) to build a movement
