Health Care Innovation Advancement Framework
"We invest in what we measure" – Dena Morris, former Washington Global Health Alliance President
Cambia Grove has created the Health Care Innovation Advancement Framework to measure what matters – the ability for health innovation to make positive impact on the lives of the people, families and communities.
Using the Advancement Framework, Cambia Grove worked with community partners in Washington, Utah and Oregon to measure each state’s innovation ecosystem. Thank you to the many contributors to this work including Governor Jay Inslee (D-WA), Governor Spencer Cox (R-UT), Cambia Grove Innovation Councils and the dozens of interviewees who work every day to transform the health care system to be more person-focused and economically sustainable.
