TopCoder®, Inc., the world's largest competitive Community of digital creators today announced that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has selected the TopCoder Open Innovation platform to launch a Challenge series of competitions to develop applications capable of reducing inefficiency, improving quality and lowering overall cost of the screening process at the state and national level of the public healthcare system.
The CMS Provider Screening Innovator Challenge will apply the process of Open Innovation to the goals of improving the abilities of states to streamline operations, screen providers, and reduce overall fraud and abuse by developing a multi-state, multi-program provider screening software application which would be capable of risk scoring, credentialing validation, identity authentication, and sanction checks, while lowering burden on providers and reducing administrative and infrastructure expenses for States and Federal programs.
