AMIA 2013 Student Design Challenge: Reinventing Clinical Documentation
Co-Chairs: Lena Mamykina PhD Columbia University

INTRODUCTION
The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) is proud to sponsor the AMIA 2013 Student Design Challenge. The focus of this design challenge is on designing novel methods for capturing and accessing clinical data that facilitate and enhance clinical work. We invite graduate students from different scientific disciplines and of various backgrounds to re-invent electronic clinical documentation, broadly defined, and its role in medical practice. Specifically, we are looking for solutions that reduce documentation burden for clinicians, leverage strengths of human users and computing capabilities, support medical reasoning and decision-making, facilitate teamwork, capture clinical data in a way that enables secondary use of such data (for example for business and research purposes), and can be generalized to multiple settings and use cases. We seek novel solutions that incorporate cutting edge computational and interactive technologies and take advantage of the considerable advances in such research areas as biomedical informatics, human-computer interaction, computer science, information visualization, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, among many others.
Please got to AMIA 2013 Student Design Challenge webpage (http://www.amia.org/amia2013/student-design-challenge) for more details about the problem and submission process.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
To participate in the challenge, we invite teams of students to submit their original design solutions for the next generation of clinical documentation. To qualify for participation, teams should include only students in degree-pursuing graduate programs (including post-doctoral fellows pursing MA or MS degrees). Given the nature of the creative process, we suggest that teams include no more than 4 or 5 individuals. No faculty advising is required for participation.
Each team will be asked to identify a specific challenge related to clinical documentation. We recommend that teams consider challenges that have significant impact on clinical processes. Some potential challenges related to data entry and presentation could include but are not limited to:

*         Reducing reliance on manual data entry;

*         Effectively capturing the interaction between the care provider and patient as part of the note;

*         Integrating the most useful data from the old notes into the new notes without the provider interaction;

*         Effectively capturing temporal evolution of the decisions and choices related to clinical care;

*         Allowing members of patient care teams collectively document their respective perceptions and care for the patient;
We envision a broad range of proposed designs including both interactive and computational solutions.
Competition Process

1.      Each team will submit an extended abstract (5 page maximum) discussing their description of the specific challenge related to electronic clinical documentation, the proposed solution, and their design process. Supplementary materials (including storyboards and mockups, or source code and sample output) can be submitted as PDF. The supplementary material would not count against the 5 page maximum. The submissions will be evaluated through a peer-review process by the SDC steering committee.

2.      The 8 best proposals will be asked to present their solutions during the AMIA poster session. At least one member from each of the 8 teams will be expected to attend the conference to present a poster illustrating their solution, discuss their solution, and the design process with conference attendees. AMIA will wave registration fee for one presenter from each of the eight teams, with the expectation that the presenter holds a student membership with either AMIA or ACM.

3.      4 teams will also be notified prior to the conference that their proposal has been selected as a finalist for the AMIA SDC Award. They will be asked to give a presentation about their solution during the AMIA Student Design Challenge session. The 4 finalists will give an oral presentation and, where appropriate, demonstration of their design to the panel of SDC Judges and AMIA attendees. The judges will rank the solutions and presentations to identify the winner and subsequent 2nd and 3rd place teams.
Awards
The SDC awards ceremony will take place during the last day of AMIA Annual Symposium. The winner, second and third place will receive plaques and cash prizes (amount to be determined).
Timeline
July 31 - proposal submission deadline
September 15 - notifications to authors
September 30 - camera-ready copy is submitted
