Information technology, mobile connectivity, social networking, and healthcare delivery are at a historical point of convergence. Now is the time to invest in new strategies to direct the future of healthcare. As of May 8th, 2013, Minneapolis has a new healthcare innovation center to do just that, and it is right in gpTRAC's back yard!
The goal of the Mill City Innovation and Collaboration Center (Mill City ICC) is to reduce unnecessary clincal visits while improving the quality of chronic disease and ambulatory patient care. The ICC plans to do this by researching and testing new care models based on collaboration and intelligent utilization of technology. Telehealth will play a critical role in the ICC design process.
