Publishing Competition: Defining Health in the Era of Value-Based Care
Cureus, on behalf of the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, is pleased to introduce the Defining Health in the Era of Value-Based Care publishing competition.
Competition entry and article submission is completely free. $18,000 in prizes available.
Deadline: Wed 25th January 2017
Modern medicine is actively transitioning from “fighting disease” to promoting health. However, the medical community has yet to arrive at a universally accepted definition of “health.” Without such, the path to health preservation, protection and rejuvenation remains unclear.
Supporting the emergence of integrated medicine and less expensive, value-based systems, we invite review articles that define “health” in a manner that helps to develop a healthier society and provide actionable guidelines for practicing physicians and public health workers.
The winner of this competition will be selected by general acclaim of the medical community using Cureus SIQ crowdsourcing technology, and subject to the final approval of the committee selected by the College. To further encourage knowledge sharing across medical specialties, all articles published as part of this competition will be indexed in PubMed Central and distributed to large communities of relevant clinicians through the Cureus platform.
