CHCF: The Data Stops Here

The California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF), through its Free the Data initiative, is focused on finding ways to harness data to better inform health policymaking...

...As such, CHCF is sponsoring an accompanying challenge: Big Data on a Local Scale. It's based on the question: How do we get health data into the hands of city and county officials -- and spur them to use that information to improve people's lives?

CHCF has set aside $100,000 to be awarded to one or more ideas that show what can be achieved in the near term to enhance the use of health data in local policymaking...

We look forward to your great ideas for putting health data in the hands of local officials to support the policy decisions they make on behalf of us all.
