Pairwise ranking now open in IdeaShare

The submission phase for IdeaShare 2018 ended last week, having gathered 139 ideas for how artificial intelligence and predictive analytics can improve patient care and our health system. 

Ideas that were marked as the most relevant have advanced to the next phase of the process called Pairwise. 

Pairwise presents the opportunity to quickly choose between pairs of ideas to determine which suggestions are the most popular.

Now through April 16, everyone can participate in Pairwise to help us rank ideas that should be considered to receive funding during fiscal year 2019.

Pairwise ranking is fun, quick and easy, and can be done on any desktop or mobile device.

Experts are also separately reviewing ideas for their potential impact on patients and the health system. 

After we have compiled both the rankings and expert reviews, the three or four ideas with the most merit will advance from IdeaShare into an idea pitch event next month. Up to three ideas may be selected for funding in FY19.
