INTRODUCTION TO X PRIZE APPROACH

• Vision: “Bring about radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity through the power of incentivised competitions to stimulate innovation”

• Mission:We design and conduct X PRIZE competitions to address the grand challenges of our times.

• Attributes: Highly leveraged investments, efficient by only paying the winner, and sparks a new industry as a by product of the competition

- Target market failures; Define the problem, let teams compete to create the solution g ; p , p

- Clear, objective & simple rules in a hard but attainable grand challenge (3‐8 year horizon)

- Assure that a “back end business” is viable and an industry can be created

- Global competition that yields a telegenic finishGlobal competition that yields a telegenic finish

• Example: Ansari X PRIZE

- $2.5M startup, $10M prize purse, $100M invested, and $1B industry created

INTERVIEWS WITH EXPERTS HIGHLIGHTED IMPLICATIONS FOR A HEALTH PRIZE

Problem Statement: Expected Breakthroughs:Problem Statement:

• Financial incentives not aligned with doingthe right things

Expected Breakthroughs:

• Payment needs to re‐align to desired outcome

• We don't know holistically what works relativeto other things

• Fragmented system with substandard

• Outcome tracking needs to occur holistically

• Solutions need to be holistic  and steer consumers to best performers

/• Fragmented system with substandard distribution of best practice

• Need to move to "health" system vs. sick system

• Focus on engagement / behavior modification

• Need to focus both on public health and a more efficient system

• We have a very short term focus in terms of addressing future needs

• Consumer not engaged in care even if theywant to be

• Consumer need choices that are engaging (pull)

• Providers accountable for autonomous approaches via transparency of outcome

HEALTHCARE X PRIZE DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES

W k t i th l f th t h lth t bWe seek to improve the value of the current health system by:• Rewarding entities who optimize health value  

• Reinvesting resources to enhance individual vitality by encouraging activation and• Reinvesting resources to enhance individual vitality by encouraging activation and personal responsibility for health

• By increasing the vitality of individuals, we seek to advance the health of community lloverall

GOAL OF HEALTHCARE X PRIZE:

To create an optimal health paradigm thatTo create an optimal health paradigm that empowers and engages individuals and 

communities in a way that will dramatically improve health valueimprove health value

PROPOSED COMPETITION:

Goal:50 %↑ in Community health

Total cost

Draft Guidelines:•Health value = Improvements in Community Health Index and Total Cost

•Teams create mechanisms to engage, coordinate, advise, evaluate, and influence individuals and relevant care providers in their assigned test community in ways that generate health value

•Each finalist competes in a pre‐selected community/ employer test community of ~10K individuals; results compared against an equivalent control group in a similar/adjacent communityresults compared against an equivalent control group in a similar/adjacent community

•Aggregate results over 3 year contest determine winner. 50% threshold required to win purse.  Competition and results audited by independent panel of judges

1 Focus on health outcomes and value at community level:

DIFFERENCE FROM OTHER EFFORTS:

1. Focus on health outcomes and value at community level: Community Health Index tracks outcomes across a community; Total Cost tracks expenditure across all parties

2 Consumer Engagement:2. Consumer Engagement: 

Consumer engagement required to generate results

3. Payment Incentives:

Teams may create payment innovations to improve incentives for consumers, providers, vendors to demonstrate desirable behaviors/ outcomes

4. Comprehensive and Proactive Outlook:pTeams responsible for health across all care settings and multi‐year time horizon.  Increased focus and  investment in proactive, longer‐term health improvement programs

5. Local partnerships: 

Initial prize design—for public comment: www.xprize.org/wellpoint 10

Teams must develop relationships with at least some local health care providers and/ or community organizations

Page 11: Healthcare X PRIZE - Executive Summary

IMPACT POTENTIAL

Successful implementation of the Healthcare X PRIZE could create within 10 yrs:

1. A new model and system of health that demonstrates a >50% improvement in healthcare value (HCV).( )

2. A measurable and globally accepted population health metric, tentatively called the “Community Health Index” (CHI), which becomes a benchmark for measuring future improvements in health at a population levelp p

3. An individual health metric, tentatively called the “Individual Vitality Score”, which can helps individuals (and providers helping them) understand and benchmark their current health status and potential for improvement

4. A personalized “Vitality Dashboard” where consumers will be able to understand current health status, “portfolio” of improvement options, projected return from health improvement efforts

5 A new Optimal Health paradigm that helps consumers optimize their health and rewards providers

PHILOSOPHY FOR MEASUREMENT• Measures will contain desired outcomes only (no intermediate or process metrics)

– Status improvements we want to happen

– Clinical events that we want to remove from the human experience

• Where possible, measures tracked will be objective and come from established collection tools

• Measures will be at the community/population level

• Measures will be actionable.  There are case examples available that suggest teams can influence outcomes in a significant way

• Costs will be captured across as many payment alternatives as possible and reflect the payment owed at time services rendered

• “Test‐group” communities will be actuarially equivalent across demographics, socio‐economics, and health status We will divide similar or adjacent communities into 2 equivalent groups with the team selectingstatus.  We will divide similar or adjacent communities into 2 equivalent groups, with the team selecting control vs risk groups

• Data will not be projected. Specific sub‐populations may be oversampled to make absolute results comparable
