AHRQ Super Intelligence for Healthcare Improvement Initiative The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) launched its Super Intelligence (SI) for Healthcare Improvement Initiative – a two-part prize competition offering up to $7.95 million for innovative solutions that improve how healthcare evidence and data are produced and used. The initiative includes the Clinical Evidence Synthesis Transformation Challenge, which seeks a working system capable of dramatically improving the speed, consistency, and reproducibility of rigorous evidence synthesis, and the SI Tech Sprint for Healthcare Research and Implementation Quality and Safety, which seeks practical applications that use AHRQ data to advance research and translate evidence into healthcare quality- and safety-improvement activities. Individuals, teams, and for-profit and nonprofit entities may compete, and non-traditional participants are encouraged. AHRQ will host a public launch webinar in December. |
