Hinweis der Redaktion
Health and health care have witnessed a tremendous explosion of innovation over the last several decades. New technologies, new procedures, and new ways of connecting people and information all have the potential to transform health and medicine.In 2003, RWJF created the Pioneer Portfolioâa clear commitment to harnessing this pipeline of emerging ideas to serve the social good. Our work complements the more targeted efforts of the Foundationâs other teams.The Pioneer Portfolio is uniquely suited to invest in innovation at many different stages. Our goals are to:âąIdentify and explore new issues and approaches.âąAccelerate progress on issues and approaches that have significant potential to create breakthroughs in health and health care.âąSupport projects that use original, unconventional, or cross-sectoral approaches to create transformative change.
Over the last decade, Pioneer assembled a diverse portfolio of projects that reflect these goals in very different ways: Whether itâs games for health where we invested early on to try and forge an intersection between the fields of video games and health and health care, in an attempt to accelerate the progress of this promising area. Or whether itâs our efforts to create an improved alternative to the medical malpractice system in the United Statesânot through a series of tort reforms, such as caps on damagesâbut through an entirely new model: administrative health courts.
We hear a lot about innovation these days. And a lot about innovation in health and health care.  But what do we mean when we talk about innovation? What is pioneering innovation? These are ideas that are: Future-oriented. Original.Unconventional â letting patients see their doctorâs notes after an office visit.And theyâre ideas that solve big problems â like how to accelerate the scientific discovery process.Ideas that use approaches and tools from other fields â such as using perspectives from natural resource economics to think about the problem of antibiotic resistance.And finally â and I think most importantly â theyâre ideas that bring about potentially transformational, not incremental, change.
