CHMI Highlights 2011

The Center for Health Market Innovations (CHMI) released its first year report, highlighting key observations about innovative, market-based health programs based on CHMI’s initial phase of operation. Download the full report here.

Recent progress includes:

  • Over 1000 promising health market innovations identified in more than 100 countries. CHMI’s partners in 16 countries identify programs that are aggregated on our website in an interactive, downloadable Programs Database.
  • Reported Results initiative launched to discover what’s working. CHMI is beginning to create an evidence base to identify effective programs through our new Reported Results initiative.  Programs now report their results in such areas as quality, cost, and efficiency.
  • New insights about health markets. R4D identified promising practices and new program models around the world. CHMI also commissions research about market challenges like drug quality in India and informal providers practicing in Bangladesh, India and Nigeria.
  • Networks of key stakeholders created. More than 300 program managers, funders, researchers, and policymakers have attended CHMI events in Indonesia,BrazilPakistan, the Philippines, and Kenya to discuss innovations in their countries.
CHMI will continue to identify and analyze market-based innovations and connect people looking to scale up what’s working. R4D invites you to:
  • Learn more about new market-based programs.  Search the CHMI Programs Database to locate health initiatives by Program Type, Health Focus, Target Population, or Legal Status. Know of an innovative program? Add a new program profile, update a listing, or write about it on the CHMI Blog.
  • Let us know what works. Report results for programs that you manage, fund, or study.
  • Connect with innovators.  Join CHMI to directly contact people running programs listed in CHMI’s database. Have conversations with the Health Market Innovations community onCHMI’s Blog.
  • Download our data.  The CHMI database is freely available for the public. Use CHMI filters to browse the Programs Database for a slice of interest, or download the entire database to conduct analysis.
