UCSF Center for Healthcare Value - Caring Wisely 2.0

Crowd-sourcing innovative cost savings ideas from the front lines of care delivery systems

Shifting Healthcare to a focus on preventative medicine and early identification of problems

Idea Status: 

Too many times we are addressing problems in a healthcare setting that are far too advanced for minimal or non life altering treatment because they simply were not caught early enough. My idea is to implement a reward system that encourages rountine checkups with your healthcare provider insead of only when there is a "problem" this system would also reward healthy behavior. In doing this we would substaintially save in healthcare costs overall and greatly reduce rescources needed. This would apply to the UCSF Health sysrtem and its Clinics.
