  1. Business Strategy for NursesGetItDoneSummer 2011

  2. What's Hard about Nursing • During a shift, mini-deadlines (do everything on time!) • Meds on time • Follow up on labs, tests, MD orders • Patient/family education pre-discharge • Avoid pressure ulcers: turn the patient every 2 hours • Diabetes: check blood sugar, give insulin before meal • Pain meds working? • Pre-op prep (antibiotics, site prep, NPO) • Many, many more • So much to remember! (Don't forget anything!) • Time management (tackle first what's most important) • Anticipate bottlenecks • Optimize and combine, e.g. trips to supplies room • Delegate • Keep the big picture

  3. NursesGetItDone An iPhone app – Quick overview: • Time management for inpatient hospital nurses • To-do lists with timing information • Knows when tasks are due • Lists are fine-tuned • For each type of hospital unit (med-surg, rehab, skilled nursing, long-term care, perioperative, maternity, etc.) • For each hospital

  4. The NGID Value Proposition The NGID Value Proposition value • Reduced stress staff nurses • Improved safety patients • Less overtime hospital financials • Bottlenecks anticipated charge nurses • New data managers, researchers value value value value

  5. Target Customers • Tier 2: Hospital nursing managers • Buy a package: software, training and support • Both tiers subscribe, to get: • Shared “shift definitions” (fine-tuned to-do lists) • Social networking (nurse heroes) • Work diaries • individual and aggregate • on-line database • Tier 1: Nurses - Buy the app for themselves

  6. Business Model • Revenue from unit sales • Proposed price: $25/unit • Ongoing cashflow from subscriptions • Proposed price: $1.99/mo • Tier 1 sales channel • Apple iTunes store – collects the money • In the store (units) • Automatic “in-app” (subscriptions) • Takes 30% • Tier 2 sales channel • Direct sales (we visit sites, train, support) • Medical supplies distributors

  7. Market Size • 2.7 million working RNs • Next: LVNs, LPNs, PTs, OTs, RTs • 5,800 hospitals • Next: Additional nursing units in each • Next: Extended-care facilities

  8. Customer Acquisition • Nursing culture of mutual assistance • One nurse solves a problem, shares the solution with another. • Example: paper “brains” nurses have traditionally used. • Nurses who create them are team workers and share them. • Enlightened managers recognize these efforts. • Hospitals elevate them to best practices. • Shared shift definitions via the web portal • Social networking component drives rapid acceptance. • Nurses getting their work done faster, more safely, more completely, and with less stress, are powerfully motivated to adopt this tool.

  9. User Adoption Model • RN buys NGID + subscription • Selects a shift definition, uses it on a shift • Fine-tunes the shift definition • Evangelizes it to co-workers • Co-workers buy NGID + subscriptions • Entire unit of RNs use NGID on their shifts • Hospital buys package/volume licenses • Shift definition tuning proceeds iteratively • Value to institution grows

  10. Secondary Marketing Channels • Web-based promo • Share-your-brain contests, brain museum, nurse manager’s blog • Email blasts • YouTube videos of safe, productive nurses • Google AdWords • Booths, presentations at nursing trade shows • RN continuing education on time management • Training (nursing schools, professional tutorials) • Outreach through nurses’ unions

  11. Sales Forecast

  12. Time and Money • Start-up costs: $250,000 • Estimated time to breakeven: 1 year • Estimated deepest red: -$200,000

  15. Competition • None today • 40-60 medical apps in iTunes store • Half are for medical reference • None are for time management • Only one nursing workflow app • PatientTouch from PatientSafe • Sold to hospitals not to nurses • Announced 2/21/2011 (not mature) • Strongest competition will come from electronic medical record vendors • A natural extension • They can generate tasks from patient data • None yet • A market window is briefly open • We can capture the market • Will make us attractive for acquisition (exit strategy)

  16. Timeline • June-October: Beta software devel., site built, team built, videos produced • Beta launch (3 sites) in November, support team hired/trained • November-December: Beta feedback, software iteration, Share-Your-Brain contest, 2 trade shows, 6 site visits • 2012: Ongoing sales and support

  17. Capital Raise • Seed funding is sought now • Series A stock in Nurse Tech, Inc. • Second funding round is possible, probably not needed
