SINGAPORE, 18 September 2018 – IIX – a global organization dedicated to building a more inclusive world through innovative finance – today announced the results of a study on gaps in women’s health services, financing, and outcome measurement in the United States. Focused on underserved women in California, Minnesota and New York, the study demonstrates a new patient-centered, inclusive model for financing, measuring and driving improved health outcomes, reducing long-term costs, and integrating patients’ voices into health care delivery.
The study was supported by the Medtronic Foundation, which is focused on expanding access to quality chronic disease care among underserved populations worldwide, as well as supporting health initiatives in communities where Medtronic employees live and give. IIX and Medtronic Foundation partnered to assess the potential for an innovative financial structure – the Women’s Health Bond – that unlocks new resources for underserved women and improves the rigor of health measurement, and to build a health outcomes assessment toolkit publicly available for any organization to use looking to improve its own performance.
