The Healthcare Market: an eagle-eye view

The use of your product in a Care Delivery chain is more than a single moment in the medical treatment; it is part of a process. Understanding how this patient journey works, what the decision drivers are, which bottlenecks exist and which external influences arise are key to optimizing the positioning of your product or technology.

The TforG Care Track is a dynamic and online tool that provides a visual narrative. It quantifies the patient flow and unravels it to reveal all its strategic elements. The TforG Care Track shows the route of a patient with a specific pathology through the healthcare system of a country, and is fully customized to your product or technology.

Your TforG Care Track provides you insights on how your (new) product or technology can:

facilitate fast tracking: shorten time-to-diagnosis or time-to-treatment

accelerate the access to the patient

increase patient through-put

optimize the impact of external influences

save costs for the hospital

Use your TforG Care Track for:assessing the impact of the introduction of a new product or technology

identifying the need for a new product or technology

increasing your market share by guiding more patients your way

identifying suitable partners to develop a sustainable business plan

anticipating the impact of competition and new technologies

fine-tuning positioning to optimize the impact in terms of financial benefits (reimbursement schemes) or clinical guidelines

re-engineering and integrating workflows

creating value for your customer with support for implementation

TFORG CARE TRACK METHODOLOGY & SOURCESStep 1: Identify the universal pathology flowTforG has developed a high level of expertise in the research and creation of the TforG Care Track across a variety of medical disciplines and pathologies, on an international scale. These patient journeys were designed in close collaboration with a number of university hospital partners. We typically have at least 8-9 university hospital partners involved in the study. Our up and running standard disease flows are used as a starting point for the creation of new Care Tracks with more specific applications.

Step 2: Identify country-specific characteristicsThe standard flow is customized by country, incorporating all country-specific diagnosis and treatment steps, possible alternatives and external influences. Research for this step consists of a series of interviews (telephone and/or face to face) with 5 to 10 stakeholders (per patient journey and per country).Our networks include:• Clinical stakeholders: nurses, physicians and surgeons.• Non-clinical stakeholders: hospital administrators, CEO’s, CFO’s, COO’s,

hospital strategy managers, GPO profiles and payers.Respondents are screened with emphasis on their level of expertise and involvement in the treatment of each pathology, as well as the number of patients treated annually.

Step 3: Full quantification and qualificationThe final phase of research consists of integrating all quantitative and qualitative facts and figures. During this phase 20 – 30 relevant centers share their data on specific types of patients surveyed.
