7 What is TeleHealth? TeleHealth: Provides patient care and consultation services over distance that uses a video conferencing technology platform that links patients having specific needs with top physicians / specialists at different locations Helps reduce costs by advancing preventative care models associated with postacute care, chronic condition management, population health management, and patient centered medical home Can be used strategically to target higher reimbursement patient areas, shift referral patterns, improve access to care Integrates patient data throughout the care continuum rather than creating a separate data silo Ensures the patient s care needs are the focus rather than the technology or delivery mechanism TeleHealth is Not: A single sub-specialty application A telephone conversation or fax transmission An or text message 6

8 TeleHealth Use Types Synchronous Live, bi-directional interaction between a patient and care provider e.g., video conferencing, patient or provider consultation, health exam, health education & training Store-and-forward Transmission of information to be reviewed / consumed at a later time e.g., clinical results, images, education & training, patient portals Remote Monitoring Medical data collected from patient in a remote location and consumed by a provider in another location for care and care support e.g., biometric data collection for chronically ill patients Mobile Health / Wearables Care supported by mobile devices that promote healthy behaviors, alerts, reminders and care management e.g., weight loss, diet, exercise, vital signs monitoring, behavior health assistance, patient engagement 7

9 Sample TeleHealth Services There are >100 clinical service lines using TeleHealth. The following is a list of some of the more popular TeleHealth services at health organizations today. Burn Cardiology Chronic Care Management / Remote Monitoring Specialty Consultations Dermatology eicu Education / Grand Rounds Emergency Services / Trauma Fetal Monitoring Home Health / Long Term Care Hospitalist Care Infectious Disease Medication Adherence Nephrology Neurology / Stroke Care Obstetrics and Gynecology Oncology Orthopedics Pain Management Pathology Pediatrics Pharmacy Primary / Urgent Care Psychiatry Radiology Rheumatology Screening Services Urology 8

10 The TeleHealth Market is Growing! Example TeleHealth Growth Area Market Outlook for TeleHealth States with Parity Laws for TeleHealth States Supporting the FSMB Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Reimbursement for TeleHealth Employer Support for TeleHealth Consumer Support for TeleHealth Venture Capital TeleHealth Investment Sample Outcomes Robust market growth predictions in the U.S. and Internationally 23 states and Washington, D.C. have parity laws; more states are expected this year 6 states have enacted and 11 have introduced compact legislation; more states are expected to enact this year Improving, but much more needs to be done Increased TeleHealth offerings in employer health plans Strong and increasing 2014 was a record year; 2015 is expected to be robust 9

11 TeleHealth Market Drivers Key drivers for use of TeleHealth include: Economic incentives that focus on population health management and value-based payment models, including: Margin pressures on clinical services Driving new revenue by expanding beyond traditional geographic boundaries Avoiding readmission penalties; TeleHealth directly impacts the Triple Aim of improving the patient care experience, reducing care cost, and improving the health of a population; Doctor and nurse shortages are expected, and will be greater in rural areas; Shifting patient volume from inpatient to more outpatient care; Increased availability of affordable technology (e.g., wearables and smart devices), high-speed bandwidth, and services to engage patients; Changing consumer expectations for more convenient and accessible care; and Non-traditional health providers are entering the market and disrupting care delivery models and care cost structures. 10

12 TeleHealth: Game-Changer or Threat? TeleHealth can be a game-changer that has low geographical barriers and numerous possibilities. However: Health Delivery Organizations (HDOs) have a small window of opportunity for an early mover advantage in their region New types of regional and national competition are now a greater threat There are minimal barriers to entry in the market A sample of organization types capitalizing on U.S. market expansion opportunities and potential competitors are: National TeleHealth Service Providers National Retailers Cable Companies Pharmacies Disruptive TeleHealth Companies Innovative Physician Practices Regional Providers Expanding Services Academic Medical Centers Marquee Providers Integrated Delivery Networks Community Health Systems Local Physician Practices 11

13 TeleHealth Stages of Maturity Stage 1 Single Service Focused Stage 2 Multi-Service Focused TeleHealth Stages of Maturity Stage 3 Program Focused Stage 4 Market & Care Delivery Focused Stage 5 Consumer Focused Single service deployed to address a need Siloed clinical care delivery model Limited clinical and business benefits No org structure or governance; departmental sponsorship Multiple independent clinical services to primarily extend care. Siloed clinical delivery care model Some tangible business benefits No org structure. Limited governance. Departmental sponsorship Multiple services aligned with top specialty areas focused on local market Services have limited integration with the existing care delivery models Program has measurable value and provides local market differentiation Central org structure, services-driven governance and executive sponsorship Market-driven, balanced portfolio of services extend beyond local / regional markets Services are integrated within care delivery models Self-sustaining as a business with metricsdriven clinical outcomes and financial results Central organizational structure, enterpriselevel governance and sponsorship Broad and flexible menu of services to address needs within/outside U.S. borders Expands beyond provider markets directly to consumers Services can be integrated within any clinical delivery model Services are productized to be packaged and sold to any health organization or consumer Opportunities to sell data or packaged services to other markets Market Focus Over Past Years Current Market Focus Target for Leading Health Providers 12

24 Key TeleHealth Program Needs Strategy and plan for the TeleHealth Program A clear owner of the TeleHealth program and services Organizational structure to deploy, operate and support the program Defined program implementation plan and dedicated implementation team Physician buy-in and adoption Defined performance metrics that are proactively tracked and reported Technology and process training Reliable technology with a knowledgeable support team Necessary technical infrastructure and interoperability Data security Critical planning emphasis needs to be on the operational, clinical, and business impacts of TeleHealth. Technology is important, but not the primary driver. 23

25 Key Areas to Address for Success Position TeleHealth as a game changing strategic initiative directly aligned with the organization s mission, strategy and clinical direction Create a balanced portfolio of TeleHealth services Focus on physician adoption and workflow optimization Stratify the patient population and proactively manage the sickest and highest risk patients with TeleHealth care management models Directly integrate TeleHealth services into existing care delivery models Create a central TeleHealth organization with enterprise-level governance and executive sponsorship Develop a single, integrated TeleHealth IT platform with standards for clinician and patient access devices, accessibility methods and usage patterns 24
