We're in search of bold new thinking. This is an invitation to solve the problem of medical error that harms millions of U.S. patients, kills approximately 250,000 patients, and costs billions of dollars every year. We’re calling on TreeHacks teams to envision the best technology-enabled patient safety solution that has the potential to avert patient harm and save lives and will be awarding $2,000 to the top team. Your hack must align with one of the following five leading patient safety challenges facing health care across the continuum of care: Medication errors, procedural/surgical errors, errors during routine patient care (e.g. pressure ulcers, blood clots, falls), infections and diagnostic safety. We encourage teams to consider autonomous tech-enabled patient safety solutions – those that are able to take action with little or no human supervision – as well. Learn more about the problem and get access to resources to help your hack here.
