Medica is planning to reward excellence in cutting-edge care delivery by offering a new innovations award in 2008.
With "Raising the Bar: Rewarding Care Delivery Innovation," Medica wants to recognize the work of provider groups that are undergoing unique changes to improve patient care and that have proven results. Any provider group that administers patient care in the Medica provider network is eligible, including primary care and specialty practices as well as hospitals.
As we have adjusted our pay-for-performance programs to align more with other community initiatives, the "Raising the Bar" award will similarly recognize the provider community’s work in defining healthcare excellence.
Innovation programs and projects can include but are not limited to:
- Establishing patient partnerships
- Integrating illness care and lifestyle management
- Enhancing quality and efficiency
The deadline for award applications is June 30, 2008. One or more awards will be presented in amounts of at least $25,000.
