The Health Care Innovation Challenge, which was launched in November by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, approaches its second major milestone later this month. The applications are due January 27, 2012 and the winners are scheduled to be announced by March 30.
Not much attention has been focused on this innovative initiative. Hopefully, articles such as this one will help spread the news. The Challenge is, indeed, to quote the article’s author:
…one of the most interesting and exciting attempts to move the health care ball forward that we have seen in decades.”
— Dr. Ramon Barquin, President of consulting firm Barquin International
