Ask HN: Anyone participating in the Heritage Healthcare Prize?

The Heritage Provider Network is running what looks like a "Netflix Prize for Healthcare". More details can be found at http://www.heritagehealthprize.com/c/hhp, but the gist of the idea is simple: to develop a prediction algorithm to identify patients that will be admitted into a hospital, based on data from their medical records.

Prizes are totaling USD 3 million.

I have worked in the past in an open source tool that deals with EMR (http://esphealth.org) and we had done some Syndrome Surveillance work to statistically determine the rate of infection of flu-like diseases.

I was a little far from the actual scientific models, but this is something that I'd like to get into.

Anyone else interested in the challenge?
