Projects seek to identify effective treatments and create a talent pipeline by Robert Powell


any of the stories about health care in Virginia last year involved research and


education projects. The Richmond-based Virginia


C enter for Health Innovation and many of the state’s health-care plans, for example, are involved in a pilot program looking at the effectiveness of health-payment reform. The program, led by the Cata-


lyst for Payment Reform (CPR), seeks to measure “which strategies are having the desired impact on the market,” according to the CPR website. The project’s key goal is to


identify health-care payments that are “value-oriented,” which CPR defines as effective treatments combined with a reduction in unnecessary spending. Meanwhile, the Inova Center


for Personalized Health continues to take shape at its 117-acre campus in Fairfax County. Now under con- struction is the 220,000-square-foot Global Genome and Bioinformatics Research Institute, a partnership involving Inova Health System, the University of Virginia, George Mason University and the common- wealth that is pursuing a variety of projects. Inova also announced last year a partnership with Shenandoah

University in Winchester to expand graduate-level programs in a number of health-care fields including public health and personalized medicine. Construction also is underway


in Roanoke on a $90 million expan- sion of the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute. The additional space is expected to house an additional 25 research teams. The partners in the research institute, Virginia Tech and Carilion Clinic, also have created a $15 million venture capital fund. It will be used by startups that plan to turn lab discoveries into new businesses.


www.VirginiaBusiness.com Also in Roanoke, the Carilion-


owned Jefferson College of Health Sciences intends to merge with Rad- ford University. The health-sciences school, which has about 1,050 students, offers 25 degree options in the associate, bachelor’s and graduate levels. The growing demand for health


professionals prompted Regent University in Virginia Beach to announce plans to start a college of health-care sciences this fall. The college will include the university’s current health-care programs and a new school of nursing.
