Data will be the key to unlocking inefficiencies and improving quality?

The inability to collect, share and use data from a variety of sources is a leading reason that the global healthcare system has the highest potential for improvement.

8

Adapting new solutions for new healthcare systems

Three crucial strategies to consider in the new healthcare environment:

Understand the customer and what they want

Reshape offerings to provide enhanced product value and broad value based distribution

Anticipate shifting power structures in the wider healthcare system

What is driving healthcare convergence?

Healthcare convergence is the thesis that all stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem will increasingly need to work more closely together to achieve one aim: better patient outcomes at lower costs.

Outcomes vs. inputs New healthcare ecosystems are centered on the patient

10

Key healthcare policy trends driving healthcare convergence

Paying for outcomesRecent healthcare reform acts focus on improving patient outcomes while cutting costs

US 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)

Trend Description Example

Comparative effectiveness

Assess the additional value of a medical device relative to treatment alternatives.

Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) in the US

Real world evidence

Emergence of a Big Data that integrates traditional clinical trials data with claims and EHR to measure value and improveAdverse event reporting

Oncology, Auto Immune Disease, Pain Mgmt, Hep C are great examples of RCT and RWE data leveraging observational and retrospective data

Value-based pricing (VBP)

VBP used to increase market share for the first entrant in a new therapeutic category or in response to budgetary pressures.

US Healthplans are reviewing medical effectiveness based on overall clinical episodes and DRG groupings

11

Partnership examples

Finding ways to help improve outcomes and patient engagement align the interests of the industry with those of the patient, healthcare professional and provider: a win for all invested parties.

Trend

■ Develop companion diagnostics to improve outcomes

■ Improving Patient Communications

■ IT and Big Data

■ Mobile health

■ Clinical professional services units

12

Understand the customer and what they want

Life sciences companies will need to become better at identifying who their new customers are, what they want and how they want it delivered.

Old model: Customer was prescribing physician, the patient the recipient of direct-to-consumer advertising

New model:Customer includes ultimate bill payer, e.g. government, physician group, informed patients

Old model: Customer was influencing physician; patient the recipient of direct-to-consumer advertising

13

Anticipate shifting power structures in the wider healthcare system

■ Rising engagement ■ Increased cost-sharing

and decision-making■ New technologies and

access to information ■ New products and

services■ Redefine and

differentiate product offering

Patient Payers

■ Leverage knowledge and databases of patient and disease profiles

■ Position business as part of the solution

■ Prevention and appropriate treatment

■ Improve patient engagement

Healthcare professionals

■ Change old attitudes by demonstrating the industry is an ally, not enemy, nor merely a source of funding

■ Increase investment in education at all levels to train the next generation of healthcare professionals

Opportunities for the life sciences industry to respond to drivers of change in healthcare systems:

What is the Internet of Everything?

•The Internet of Everything (IoE) is the emerging global network that connects people, processes, data and physical devices to transform structured and unstructured information into real time insight and decision making.

•Physical devices or things are embedded with sensors and actuators are linked through a combination of wired and wireless networks

Vendors have different points of view on the Internet of Everything –

• IBM tends to focus on the data.• Cisco tends to focus on the

network.• Service providers focus on the

connectivity to devices.

We are of the opinion that the common thread in this conversation is information.

Physical devices (Things)

Connectivity(Protocols, Network infrastructure etc)

Structured and unstructured information

Real time insights and alerts

The Future of Connected Healthcare

In fifty years’ time, I believe that we will consider the rise of mobile technology to be one of the greatest medical advances the world has ever seen.

Armed with the newest devices and technologies, patients will enjoy better health outcomes, doctors and medical professionals will be more effective and efficient, costs for payers and governments will be slashed and populations will – for the most part – be more health conscious.

Indeed, by coupling the power of mobile devices with rapidly-maturing technologies such as cloud, health systems around the world are starting to awaken to an entirely new way of delivering health services.

How mobile devices will revolutionize healthcare

Operationalizing the Digital Strategy

Infrastructure

What will all of this mean form a technical infrastructure point of view? How do I ensure security, access and performance of the solution?

Governance

What are the principle processes and the organisational structure required to ensure integrity and the continuous alignment of information to the business needs?

Performance Management Process and Reporting

How can I improve my financial planning and business performance management? What are the KPIs and reporting requirements of my business? How can I best execute my financial consolidation?Integrated Information Management

What is the information content and date model required to support my reporting requirement? Where are the value creation opportunities in standardisation of KPI and master data?

BI Platform

What is the right application to support information delivery, financial consolidation, planning and performance management? How can I succeed in delivering the applications implementation and make the overall solution really deliver value to the business?

Business Alignment

Care Continuum Coordination Solution Set required elements

No matter what your challenge (i.e. ACOs, PCMHs, CINs etc) developing capabilities to enable Care Continuum Coordination is essential to drive quality and cost improvements for new “outcomes-based” reimbursement models.

Impact of Technology Enablement

Capture: Data is collected through activities conducted throughout the Care Continuum cycle. Various systems are needed to support the different processes.

Exchange: Information is exchanged to multiple systems that support the Care Continuum. Highly effective Clinical Decision Making and Care Coordination requires timely access to integrated data (claims and clinical) to perform timely interventions and maximize outcomes.

Use: Using analytics, collected data is aggregated to minimize risk and improve workflows. Data can be utilized to improve clinical care and further research initiatives. Targeted ROI can be increased and accelerated by selecting the greatest breadth of relevant data to acquire and by aligning to this core transformational model .

Achieving the healthcare transformation outcomes of Cost Reduction, Increased Quality and Improved Access requires investment in technologies that will effectively enable clinical data Capture, Exchange and Use.

Advancing the Internet of Everything of Healthcare

1. mHealth will need to advance from pilot to sustainable program to provide a reliable delivery model for healthcare.

2. Applications will need to mature beyond simply replicating web services to personalized and real time relevant data.

3. Economic model for devices, sensors, consumer mobile devices and infrastructure will need to get more cost effective in order to accommodate the growth model. Unit costs need to dramatically reduce as volumes increase.

4. Cloud and technology providers will need to work with healthcare and life sciences organizations to define specific offerings for healthcare.

5. Involving patients, healthcare providers and payers to develop process, workflows and to innovate the delivery models.

6. The opportunity for the IoE to be a disruptive technology for healthcare is so large that we have to be clear about the business value, process quality and outcomes associated with the early solutions.

7. Patients and consumers will need to warm up to the idea that devices can be an integral part of their life in healthcare. Industry and technology leaders need to demonstrate this confidence through privacy and security measures for consumers and patients.

7 things that need to happen… for the Digital Environment to expand dramatically in Healthcare
