Healthcare X PRIZE: Twitterview Today! May 26, 2009

I will do a twitterview with Scott Shreeve about the great Healthcare X PRIZE today at 8:30 AM PST. Follow the interview on Twitter.com.

The X PRIZE Foundation, along with WellPoint Inc and WellPoint Foundation as sponsor, has introduced a $10MM prize for health care innovators to implement a new model of health. The focus of the prize is to increase health care value by 50% in a 10,000 person community over a three year period.

The Healthcare X PRIZE team has released an Initial Prize Design and is actively seeking public comment. We are hoping, and encouraging everyone at every opportunity, to engage in this effort to help design a system of care that can produce dramatic breakthroughs at both an individual vitality and community health level.

There is also a huge blog rally focusing on this issue. Feel free to leave your comments.
