There has been a change in the hack and scope of mission. Given the threats to the healthcare industry as it relates to patient information security we have a new task. Participants will be challenged with designing possible solutions to be presented for judging at conclusion of the hackathon. Teams will be asked to field solutions to securing and protecting healthcare information for both cloud and server based systems. Teams will be given a maximum of five hours to create their solutions. Teams will use their last hour to present their solutions to the panel of judges who will help identify the winning solution which will be awarded a $1000.00 prize from Microsoft. The event will kick off on Saturday, May 4 at City of Hope’s Administrative Center in Baldwin Park with breakfast, introductory comments from all partners, rules of engagement and begin generating ideas. Certificates of Recognition along with cash prize announcements will be provided by the Deloitte, Oracle, Microsoft immediately following the presentations.
