The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is seeking virtual participants for its Rural Health Hackathon by Sept. 9. The event brings experts together to create actionable ideas to address rural health challenges. Individuals are advised to submit written concepts through the online form, which includes information on Hackathon challenge areas, questions to address and evaluation criteria. CMS will review and select the top ideas to include in a policy report that will be published on the Hackathon webpage.
