Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) and ScaleHealth have partnered to host a new quality-focused innovation design challenge aimed at providing optimal care and vibrant health in the Inland Empire.
The partnership begins Tuesday, July 11, and asks startups, technology companies, and innovators to address key areas, including:
- Member Redetermination & Retention
- Child & Adolescent Well Care Visits
- Quality Management Best Practices
- Family Unit Care
“This design challenge will be an opportunity to innovatively address Quality opportunities in our region,” said Dr. Edward Juhn, IEHP’s chief quality officer. “We are excited to discover new ideas focused on transforming care in our communities.”
Challenge participation is free and will be hosted on the ScaleHealth platform with the goal of engaging industry experts, health care professionals and innovators to develop creative solutions in the aforementioned areas. Participating innovators will be reviewed based on criteria, including, but not limited to, understanding of IEHP’s goals, market validation, business traction and compliance.
Through an assessment process, innovative solutions will be scored and ranked by ScaleHealth’s platform. The highest scoring solutions will be invited to participate in a final design showcase in front of a panel of IEHP leadership for pilot consideration.
“IEHP’s vision to never rest until their communities enjoy optimal care aligns perfectly with ScaleHealth’s vision to ensure that everyone has access to the innovative health solutions that they need,” explained Taylor McPartland, ScaleHealth’s chief executive officer. “Sharing this common goal puts our partnership on such strong footing, we can’t wait to get started in supporting IEHP and the communities that they serve.”
