To catch everyone up, here is the brief sequence of events:
- CMS released groundbreaking procedure data about providers in the US who bill Medicare.
- ONC sponsored a coding contest to make the data useful to consumers.
- DocGraph released Omni, the first tool to allow the browsing of open doctor data by the public.
- CMS released a browsing tool too, which is awesome, but not quite as awesome as Omni.
- Health Data Consortium is hosting the contest, called a Code-a-Palooza, with winners announced at datapalooza.
With that in mind, we are happy to announce that DocGraph Omni has been selected as one of the winning entries into the Code-a-Palooza!
