Helping EHR vendors provide doctors with a time and cost efficient process for receiving patient consent for sharing medical records
I need my records transferred…
I need your medical records,
Bre
Here’s the records you
requested Dr. Duderich
You have my consent
1. Request sent to patient
2. Bre sends signed form back to new doctor
3. New doctor sends Bre’s consent to his previous doctor
4. Bre’s previous doctor sends his medical records to Bre’s new doctor
Bre, who suffers from a chronic disease, recently moved to New York to work. Needing to continue his treatment, Bre visits a new doctor near his apartment. In order to ensure treatments do not overlap, his new doctor in New York needs Bre’s medical records from his old doctor in Philadelphia.
Tell me where it hurts…
• +1 day after first treatment: Medical professionals needed to provide patient with consent form
• +3 days: Patient would then need to sign it and then scan or fax it back to the doctor
• +4 days: The doctor would then need to provide this request to the old doctor before finally
• +8 days: The old doctor’s records would finally arrive to the patient’s new doctor via postal service
“Why can’t I access my patient’s medical records from their old doctor faster?!?”

Here’s the records you
requested Dr. Duderich
1. Request emailed to patient
2. Consent is provided to both doctors
3. Bre’s previous doctor sends his medical records to Bre’s new doctor

How are get there?
A web-based + device that helps both the authentication
and transfer of medical electronic and paper record
Due to EMR Mandate, all practice/hospital will switch to
electronic medical record, transfer of record will be greatly simplified
soon
Pivot – value propositionInstead of focusing on the whole process, we feel authentication will still be a pain point to both
party
A web-based application that make the authentication
securely and painless to both hospital doctor and small
practice
Decision-makers in large hospital are different from users and
concerns are way more complicated
Iteration – Focus only on small practice and vendors
How about just take small practice? What about build our system in other EMR systems?
A web-based application makes the authentication securely and
painlessly to small practice. Other vendors can make it part
of their system
Most large vendors already have this feature within their bundle.
However, it is only available if you buy their whole kit and smaller
vendor don’t have it as a feature. Insurance companies also interested in the product.
Iteration – Customer Segmentation
- Small practice not have it- Smaller vendors cannot build
it in houseHow about Insurance companies?
The problem: The transfer of medical record is time consuming and inconvenient for both doctors and patients, leading to rising cost and longer waiting times respectively
Current product: A web-based application makes the medical authentication process securely and painlessly to small practice. It can be integrated into other smaller EMR systems who cannot build it.

• Relatively small EMR vendors• Have focused customer group• Urge to gain competitive edge to large vendors like
Epic and McKesson• Limited developer resources to web communication
and implementation of security protocols
Here’s our prescription…
Customer Segment
Continue reaching out to small EHR vendors, doctors and small
medical practices
Value Proposition
Understand whether small EHR systems are interested in providing
patient consent features
Channels
Test whether this feature should be a stand-alone EHR-related service
or a bolt-on technology
Revenue Streams
Test how doctors offices and small EHR vendors are willing to pay for
this service
Appendix Slides
Value Prop. and Customer Segments
• EMR Vendors will reduce paper work for doctors and insurance companies and further encourage the use of EMR systems by facilitating the patient consent process.
• Doctors can reduce time in obtaining patient consent for sharing of medical records via a web based system while speeding up the ability to verify authenticity of digital EMR patient records.
• Insurance Companies can reduce risk of using digital EMR patient records through keeping electronic records of patient consent. Insurance companies will also aim to cut cost by reducing the amount of time medical staff spends obtaining patient consent.

target20 Million
• Total EHR market size 9.3 Billion
• Total office-based physicians 230,187.• 89.9% within 5 people group• 6.3% within 10 people group• 3.7% consist more than 10
• Overall cost for implementation of EHR system (on average):
• Office-size: 9,600/year• Mid-size: 50,000/year
• We are targeting 1,000 doctors on average for the first 5 years
EHR Incentive Program “Mandate”
• Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services• EHR users eligible to receive incentive payments if
they can prove “meaningful use” of capabilities• Three Stages
• Stage 1 – (2011-2015) providers capturing and sharing patient data with patient or other healthcare professionals
• Stage 2 – (2015 – 2016)provide patients the ability to view online, download and transmit their health information
• Stage 3 – (2016 and beyond) providers must demonstrate meaningful effective use of these systems to improve patient care
EHR Incentive Program “Mandate”
• What does all this mean?• Electronic health records are becoming a requirement and over
the next several years, various phases of medical practices implementation is occurring (incentives for compliance and penalties for non-compliance)
• HIPAA mandated patient consent for transfer of records is still a pain point for many stakeholders such as doctors, records staff, patients and even CIOs.
• Consent forms• Require printing, faxing, scanning and manual signing• Estimated to take 45 – 90 minutes of medical staff time per
request• Extrapolated across multiple requests, could add up to 10 hours
per week
