Good news! President Obama has nominated Dr. Donald Berwick, who won the $100,000 Purpose Prize in 2007, to be administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which operates health programs that insure almost a third of all Americans.
Writing in The New York Times, Robert Pear says the nominee "personifies Mr. Obama's determination to shake up the health care system. Working with numerous hospitals and clinics around the county, Dr. Berwick has shown that it is possible to reduce medical errors and improve the quality of care while reducing the cost."
