  1. Healthcare Innovations: Trends, Transitions, Technology, and Talent Ricardo Martinez, MD, FACEP Chief Medical Officer North Highland Company, North Highland Worldwide

  2. It Starts… • Care given at home • People paid out of their pockets directly • Hospitals largely for poor or travelers without a home -run by charities and religious orders. • Physicians started many of today’s hospitals to deliver advances in medicine. • In the 1920-30’s, health insurance started by hospitals and doctors to help people pay for hospital and physician care. • Then… ...it went nuts.

  3. Putting the “Fun” in Dysfunction…. Common Characteristics of Current Healthcare System • Expensive, with hidden prices • Activity-based rather than performance • Fragmented and uncoordinated • Insular • Difficult to access and to use. Not user-friendly • Inefficient • Ineffective • Highly variable • Autonomous and insular thinking • Slow to adopt and change Market Failure – Widespread Demand For Improvement

  4. What is Innovation?Innovare; "to renew or change” Steps to Innovation The Nature of Innovation Unique, not just new. Must be definably valuable Must be worthy of exchange – of time, money or effort • Curiosity • Discovery • Invention • Innovation

  5. Four Types of Innovation • Transformational • A paradigm shift that changes society • Category • Building new industry within transformation • Marketplace • Builds or expands markets, reach new customers • Operational • Redesign to improve business processes and customer experience

  6. The Innovators Dilemma • Great companies fail for doing the right things. • Too much emphasis on current customer needs and fail to adopt new technology or business models • Stuck in a value network • Examples: computers, steel minimills • Healthcare?

  7. The Big Trends • Financial • Social • Technological • Political

  8. Current Drivers of HealthCare Trends Market drivers toward Value Based Care = Quality/Costs Positioning Enterprises for Success. Responds when patient need arises Centered around provider practice and schedules Independent practices Highly variable practice Systems designed for commercial rates to be profitable Large administrative burden Volume-based High utilization = revenue Margins dependent upon reimbursement Patients finds access points and navigates fragmented system Future Financial • Limited Reimbursement • Financial Risk Sharing • Consumer as payment source Social • Health Reform • Increased Medicaid • Insurance and Data Exchanges • Payment reform • Consumerism • Aging population • Chronic Disease • Shortage of staff Technology • Rapid growth health IT • Mobile devices • Telehealth • Cloud and exchanges Value-Based Care Rapidly Emerging Activity-Based Care Fading Away Healthcare enterprises must change or die. • Identifies unmet needs and responds proactively • Centered around patient needs and schedules • Integrated network • Highly repeatable practice • Systems designed for Medicaid rates to be profitable • Frictionless healthcare • Value-based • Utilization = costs • Margins dependent upon costs • Patients ushered to appropriate access point and navigated thru integrated health system

  9. Financial Crest • Reimbursement peaking • Move toward “Pay for Value” – Quality/$$ • Shift away from high fixed costs • Move toward risk sharing models • Greater scrutiny from payers and public • Growth of defined contribution benefits • Increasing patient co-pays makes them a payer source • Value-based insurance design

  10. Building capability requires a phased approach Road Map of Future Shifts in Reimbursement Models Phase 1: Foundational Phase 2: Enhanced Current State Phase 3: Advanced Decrease Costs Decrease Costs Decrease Costs

  11. Just cut the fat out and you’ll be fine…

  12. Social Waves • Aging of population • Growth of chronic diseases • Shortage of physician and healthcare workers • Increasing consumerism • Shift from Independence to Interdependence [Systems Thinking]

  15. Growth of Chronic Disease • 5% of population accounts for ~ 50% of total health expenditures • The 15 most expensive health conditions account for 44% • 25% of US have one or more of 5 major chronic conditions • Mood disorder, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, hypertension • Rise in population treated with 7 of top 15 conditions, rather than rising treatment costs per case, accounted for greatest part of spending growth. • And obesity continues to climb – which causes hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and hyperlipemia.

  16. Shortage of Physicians and Health workers • US has 3 specialists for each generalists, the inverse of other countries. • Geographic maldistribution of healthcare resources • Leads to difficulties and delays in access to care • Each state has different laws on scope of practice of various • Will only get worse

  17. Shift From Independence to Interdependence • Started in the US in the 1960’s • Systems Thinking accelerated with The 5th Discipline, 1990’s • Most other industries adopted and “reengineered” • Relatively new concept to Healthcare • Physicians taught autonomy often without skills needed for success in systems.

  18. Increasing Consumerism • Want more control and choice in health relationship • Desire more convenient access to care • Think they own their medical information • Increasingly cost conscious • Can collaborate with others with the same disease • Want access to medical information • Desire personalized experience

  19. Technological Waves • Rapid growth and implementation of Health IT across healthcare allows capture and exchange of clinical data. • Expansion of wireless broadband increase flow of information • Rise of digital sensors and imaging that can provide information and be shared • Boom of mobile devices for collaboration and information retrieval, including consumers.

  21. What is the “Road Ahead” ? • Patient-centered, physician-directed teams • Value-driven: high quality at lowest cost • Connected and integrated – culturally and digitally • Delivers measurable quality health care (meaningful metrics, dashboards) • Data-driven performance, with Business Intelligence – constantly learning 28

  22. Opportunity Knocks.

  23. Maintaining Margin Depends on Lowering Costs Road Map of Future Shifts in Reimbursement Models Phase 1: Foundational Phase 2: Enhanced Current State Phase 3: Advanced Decrease Costs Decrease Costs Decrease Costs

  24. The Medicaid Paradox Decrease Costs Recalibrating the system for Medicaid rates will increase margins for other payers. Source: Hospital and Physician Cost Shift: Payment Level Comparison of Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial Payers. Milliman. December 2008.

  25. Controlling Cost Per Unit Service Ways to decrease costs of care delivery: • Provider substitution • Diagnostic/treatment substitution • Setting Substitution • Process redesign: • Eliminate steps and processes • Add missing steps and processes • Re-engineer process • Offload costs to patient and family

  26. Cost Per Unit Service Concept

  27. Progressive strategies build in a cost-effective manner

  28. “Value” requires matching patient need with the lowest cost access point… Care Continuum Ambulatory Surgery Center Cost of Care Ease of Access Consistent Quality and Connectivity / Culture …while maintaining consistent quality

  29. Hiring the Patient • Patient Empowerment and Activation • Self-monitoring and feedback “self quantification” – Nike? • Patient health portals, shared with caregivers • Healthcare Gamification • Home testing and diagnostics • Disease-specific communities of care • Decision support • Informed Consent

  30. Redesigning the ProcessAnd Patient Experience • Delivery process re-engineering • RFID, Real-time Locations Systems, Kiosks • Care Coordination across spectrum • Care Navigators and health coaches • Focused factories and value streams • Health malls • Cost transparency • Patient compliance tracking

  31. Setting substitution • Home diagnostics, with wireless connectivity • Retail clinics, expanding into chronic care • Urgent care, tightly affiliated with networks • Telemedicine/teleheath • Hospital At Home programs for >100 DRGs • Home-based chronic care • Online/email consultations

  32. Diagnostics/therapeutics substitution • Utilization management programs • Consumer decision-support and Intelligent Virtual Assistants • Online/telemedicine • Behavioral health, neurology, wound care, cardiology, chronic care, EM • Decentralized lab and testing - POC • Computer-guided diagnostics • Sleep testing and therapy

  33. Provider Substitution • Generalist over Specialist – Medical Home • MLP or Associate Provider over MD • Nurse over Associate Provider • LPN over Nurse • Tech over LPN • Community Worker over Tech • Do it yourself

  34. Emerging • Big Data – drowning in it • “Money Ball”Analytics • Predictive Modeling • Integrated dashboards • Cloud-based solutions • Crowd sourced solutions and epi • Computer-assisted diagnostics
