Applications Due April 6 for AHRQ Challenge on Digital Solutions To Support Care Transitions

Applicants will be accepted until April 6 for an AHRQ challenge competition intended to identify cutting-edge digital solutions for managing transitions in care. Transitions in care are critically important, especially at times when health systems face a surge in demand for services, and communication between providers and patients is vital to getting patients the care they need. The Digital Solutions to Support Care Transitions Challenge has a total prize pool of $175,000. Applicants are asked to develop interoperable health information technology solutions that engage patients and family caregivers during care transitions from inpatient hospital care to home, especially among Americans who may have low health literacy or limited English-language proficiency.
