An Overview of the

Forces Precipitating

Change in American

Healthcare

Technology as a

Transformational and

Disintermediating

Force

The Implications

The Session…

“You never change

things by fighting

against the existing

reality. To change

something, build a

new model that

makes the old

model obsolete.”

F. Buckminster Fuller

The Premise… Society is demanding for all goods and services but –

especially for health care – that we… - ↓ Costs

- ↑ Quality

- ↑ Service

The inherent incentives of the health care industry are

disparate, inconsistent and dysfunctional – causing

leaders significant challenges

Society is moving inextricably towards an information

democracy rather than professionally dominated

theocracy = Focal point for health care change

= Appropriate management of information required

= Intellectual capital of medicine

= Simultaneously empowering (consumers) and disempowering

(physicians)

11

So, What Does It All Mean?

Consolidation – of hospitals / physicians

Efficiency and Effectiveness – the new watchwords

Productivity – the essential ingredient

Accountability – the required capability

Globalization – of care delivery

Virtualization – of support and delivery

Information Exchange / Data Analytics – fostering

open data sharing, transparency and interoperability

And, The Implications?

12

The Most Critical

Question! 12

Why?

13

Why don’t

people CARE?

13

14

But, I think they

do CARE! They just

don’t CARE

enough… 14

15

Why?

This is why

people don’t CARE

enough… 19

20

The Anticipation…

23

The Inevitable Move Toward Open Source

Standards…

Metcalfe's Law predicts that the value of interoperability increases

geometrically with the number of compatible participants

Reed's Law predicts that the utility of a network (implied by

interoperable equivalence) increases exponentially due to the number of

possible subgroups that interoperability enables

CommonWell Health Alliance (the "Alliance") – HIT (vendor)

interoperability initiative includes: Allscripts, AthenaHealth, Cerner, CVS

Caremark, CPSI, Greenway, McKesson, RelayHealth and Sunquest

When is a radiologist a

radiologist?

How is a cardiologist different

than a radiologist?

How can a dermatologist

support a primary care

provider virtually?

What’s the value difference

between a nurse practitioner

and a family physician?

If 85 – 90% of pediatric care is

protocol driven, who should

provide it?

Requiring Professional Collaboration…

27

Advantages of TELECARE… 27

Timely access to actionable information

for better patient care management

Knowing what is going on with a patient’s

course of care, in between visits, when he

or she cannot be physically in front of the

clinician

Detecting pre-acute conditions before the

patient clinically decompensates

Not waiting for the call from the ER before

knowing that a patient is trending in the

wrong direction

28

OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS = Super-Utilizers

Opportunity: reduce cost of top 1% by 20% or top 5% by 20%

Result: US Healthcare savings of $55B or $128B per year

HARNESSING THE POWER

OF REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING

30

HOW IT WORKS

Self-reported symptom &

behavior info via IVR

Biometric information via telemonitoring

devices

“Live” virtual diagnostic assessment

via televideo/steth

Medication compliance information via smart

dispensers

Data is collected, sorted and verified and presented as critical, actionable information on a secure web portal

The Problem:

• @ 240,000 admissions/year

• 28% (range: 25 – 36%) of “cellulitis” admissions are inappropriate or a misdiagnosis not requiring hospitalization

• = $83.4B/year in wasted admissions

Why?

1. Common lower limb disorders = lipodermatosclerosis, irritant dermatitis, venous eczema, lymphedema…and, thrombophlebitis

2. Most common dx is thrombophlebitis of the lower leg because it is red and inflamed but it’s not; simply inflammation of the small blood vessels

3. No clinical test can be done

4. Signs of chronic phlebitis will be present

5. The right hx is that it’s been coming and going and not acute

And, solving the problem can be as simple as wearing support hose, putting your feet up every day; and, losing weight…

In May, 2010 Lancet

Neurology published a

generic drug lithium did

nothing to slow the course

of amyotrophic lateral

sclerosis (ALS

In December, 2008,

PatientsLikeMe, a for-profit

patient networking site and

data aggregator based in

Cambridge, MA, came to a

similar conclusion, more

quickly and at much less

cost.

An INFORMATICS SAVVY ORGANIZATION is one that has an informatics-skilled workforce, a disciplined approach to information system

design and use, and reliably managed IT operation.

INFORMATICS implies a disciplined approach to information systems design and use that drives improvements in public

health practice.

Managing the COMPLEXITY… Coordinating the Care

Figure 2 - The Anatomy of Healthcare Delivery

46

The Five Normals: 1. Normal weight

2. No smoking

3. Normal glucose / Hgb A(1)c

4. Normal cholesterol

5. Keep vaccinations up-to-date, esp. flu

How to manage: 1. Annual wellness visit.

2. Tobacco cessation.

3. Body Mass Index (BMI).

4. Diabetes screening test.

5. Cardiovascular disease screening.\

6. Cholesterol level screening.

7. Screening tests

Focusing on the SIMPLICITY… The Five Normals

48

Use of Health Apps in Care Management…

Patient Engagement = enhanced electronic collaboration between

patients/members with healthcare organization(s), all major mobile

devices and Web

Administrative / Employee = Reuse existing security and data to

improve operations, ex; scheduling, forms, management reporting, bed

management, workforce, etc.

Partner & Vendor / Third Party delivery / ACO = Apps integrate with

external databases/systems to provide new function and access, such

as; ACO Provider and Payer integrated info, billing, etc.

Health Delivery = New simplified and targeted access to complex

content (e.g., genetics lab)

Health Education = Integrated content management and secure social

networking allows for new collaboration, and tracking (e.g, my healthy

world)

48

49

Example: Social Activation & Engagement…

Retrofit (www.retrofitme.com) – data-driven weight loss program

focused on professionals using wireless monitoring of weight,

activity and sleep

Results:

- 90% lose weight w/ average retention = 12 months (longest in industry / industry

average = 6 – 12 weeks)

- Men = 50% of customers

- Average customer loses 9% of weight @ 20# + 90% keep weight after one year

Target busy professionals; upper income (avg = $80K/year)

Why are the results better at Retrofit that WeightWatchers with 80% vs

30% 12 month retention + 12 month weight loss: 20# vs 14# ???

Reason = Social Engagement

If so…You’re ready to be a healthcare leader!

How much do

you CARE?
