a day are affected
–Patients: Time consuming
administration to coordinate a visit to
specialist
–Physicians: Difficult challenges with
patients who have care outside the
medical system
6,500,000
650,000

• Risks
– Policy changes by the government
– EHRs and internal medical centers don’t develop a better way to find
physicians
– Integrating other applications
• Assumptions
– Strong network coverage internally
– Successful and functional implementations of EHRs
– Widespread usage of EHRs amongst all physicians in a medical network
18. PROJECT START AND KPI
• Resources from Stakeholders
– Limited access to select hospital databases to connect tool
– Collection of up to date physician information (photos, contact information,etc.)
• How does this benefit you?
– Increased in network appointments and higher patient satisfaction through lowering cost
– Operational efficiency of cross-collaboration among a large healthcare system
– Keep a track of patients who are actually booking their specialist appointments
• Key Performance Metrics
– Conversation Rate: Rate of patients scheduling In-Network from before the product was live
– Active Physicians: Number of active Primary Care Physicians in the system who are currently
utilizing DocLink
19. CONCERNS
• “You can’t expect me to refer my
patients to a name in a book”
• “Please don’t tell me where to
take my care”
• “My family has been seeing this
specialist for the last ten years”
20. BUSINESS CASE
Government Drive Change: The US Congress included a formula of both
incentives (up to $44,000 per physician under Medicare, or up to $65,000 over six
years under Medicaid) and penalties (i.e.decreased Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursements to doctors who fail to use EMRs by 2015, for covered patients) for
EMR/EHR adoption versus continued use of paper records as part of the Health
InformationTechnology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act
Electronic Health Record (EHR) Market:
• 2008: 38.4% of office-based physicians reported using EHRs
• 2014: Over 80% of hospitals in the U.S. have adopted some
type of EHR
• 90% of all systems live with 10 EHRs (296,300 providers)
21. MARKET SIZING
• 296,300 providers live with an EHR
• 1/3 x 296,300 = 99,000 Primary Care providers live with an EHR (approx)
• 64% of providers belong to a health system
• 99,000 x 0.64 = 63,000 PrimaryCare providers live with an EHR in a health
system (approx)
• 63,000 providers x 25 patients/day = 1.6 million patient visits in a day

23. USER STORIES
• As a patient, I want to ensure that I get the best care possible
so I get healthier
• As a primary care physician, I want specialists to access notes
and connect my patients with the best and most accessible care
so that my panel is satisfied with my care
• As an administrator, I want to keep care within the network
so that patients and hospitals aren’t paying more to receive
the same care
• As a specialist, I want to have access to internal records and
have a more efficient system of getting patients from the primary
care office so that I can manage patient care

25. MARKET SIZING (EPIC SYSTEMS)
• Largest EHR is live with 79,031 providers which represents
almost 20% of the overall EHR market
• ~26,000 PCPs in that EMR System if 1/3 are Primary Care
• 64% of providers belong to a health system
• ~17,000 PCPs in a health system if 64% belong to a health system
• 17,000 Physicians x 25 Patients = 42,500 patient visits a day
