MINNEAPOLIS, July 10, 2008—HealthPartners Health Plan is instituting an Innovations Award program for transformations in health care delivery.

HealthPartners has published a call for proposals which will be reviewed by a panel that includes representatives of employers and the health plan as well as a professor from the Carlson School of Management.

The focus of these projects can be a specific disease or condition, care processes, specific patient populations or the entire care delivery model.

We will highlight the selected recipients at our annual Partners in Excellence awards dinner as well as to the public.
