Track 4. Applied Capstone and Competition Prep

Curriculum and competition stay linked on purpose. Prepare for the event you entered.

Why the capstone exists

Packets still use Care, Cost, Code. Normal Events and Legacy Events use the same Regional, State, and National stages, with different cutoffs. Track 4 is where a chapter stops collecting modules and starts running a case the way a judge will hear it.

4.1 Applying the Framework

One case run through the three-lens framework. Name the patient, the payer, and the system. About is still the only page that explains those lenses at length.

4.2 Case Analysis Practice

Guided practice on past-style cases. Teams should already be covering clinic, money, and tech before they enter a judged event.

4.3 Competition-Specific Prep

A pitch is not a hearing. A solo chart review is not a four-person crisis command. Prepare for the event you entered.

A full mock case run-through, in teams. New schools should start a chapter, not email for a dump of lessons.
