Make connections and explore the resources available from exhibiting organizations at #hdpalooza - located in the International Ballroom East & Concourse Foyer (Concourse Level).
Virnig notes that there is always someone at CMS who will find new research data interesting -- though they may not reach out to the researcher. But researchers can also send their papers to the CMS coverage group and/or @resdac_cmsdata #ihpi18

"CMS does watch the literature," says Virnig - and notes that @resdac_cmsdata will point out important and buzzworthy findings to CMS. She also mentions that CMS staff attend large conference esp. in DC. "CMS is trying very hard to innovate." #ihpi18

Attending #hdpalooza? Stop by our booth in the Exhibit Hall. We will be talking about #HHSStartupDay, #KidneyX, #OpenData and we will have demos from @origamiinnovate & @visionistinc (2 of our Code-a-Thon winners!) AND a demo from the @CMSGov #BlueButton 2.0 team #MeetatHDP
#hdpalooza is here! Can’t wait to talk later today on how @CMSGov will use the power of data to improve the #healthcare system and help drive value-based care.
