ONC is working on a number of fronts
to shift attitudes and expectations about consumers being more
engaged in their health and leveraging health information
technology tools and services to be partners in their care. To that
end, ONC is launching a series of video contests in 2012 that will
invite people to submit stories about how they've leveraged health
IT to improve aspects of their health, such as making a New Years'
resolution, managing a chronic condition, or caring for a loved
one. These videos will be used to help motivate and inspire others
to use to health IT to make improvements in their health and to
encourage greater adoption and use of health IT tools.
Given the focus of the
first challenge is on using technology to achieve a New Years
resolution to be healthier in 2012, it is imperative that the
contest be announced as close to the New Year as possible in order
to capitalize on the associated media buzz about this topic which
wanes as you get further into 2012. It is also imperative that the
submission requirements for the contestants be adequate to
accommodate the disabled and to allow the public to sort/filter
videos for the purposes of public voting and judging.
