Quality Improvement Monitor, October 17, 2008
The X Prize Foundation, which has previously sponsored competitions to build cars that get 100 miles per gallon and send a robot to the moon, is now offering a $10 million prize for the best proposal to improve healthcare quality, according to the Wall Street Journal’s Health Blog.
The foundation will convene a group of experts over the next several months to determine a set of measurable targets, after which insurer WellPoint will run pilot programs in some states to test the best ideas submitted in the contest. WellPoint’s charitable foundation is providing the prize money for the winner.
