We’re happy to announce that the SMART Apps for Health Challenge resulted in 15 apps being submitted. These apps range from PriorityContact(TM), an app that manages contact with patients, to rxClinicalTrials, which helps to identify trials that a patient might be eligible for through ClinicalTrials.gov. Our entrants each got their app working in the SMART Reference EMR in under 3 months, demonstrating the power of lowering the barriers to developer engagement in health IT. The judging period is now underway, and we’ll announce the winner of the $5,000 on June 22nd. Stay tuned!
