Self-insured employers are facing increased pressure to improve the health and productivity of their employees. Finding innovative solutions to improve population health is not only difficult but time consuming. To help speed up the search process and obtain peer reviewed recommendations, we will provide a rapid pilot/prototype process to quickly test and evaluate new start-up companies in the areas of population health.

Rather than meet one-on-one with startup companies we have decided to meet as a group, twice a year, and curate the best of the best startup companies. Our goal is for each employer to choose one company a year to rapidly prototype their solution and bring their findings back to the group. The biannual meeting format allows us to be incredibly efficient with our time and to learn from each other. Each member of the roundtable has the authority to green light a project, hence our goal is for rapid prototyping and deployment of innovation.
