We’ve seemingly accepted lack of cures…
The Shift
The clinical model is shifting away from
treatment of chronic conditions and
focusing more on prevention, wellness,
obesity intervention, behavior and
lifestyle modification.
Objectives
• Keep people out of the hospital ($$$)
• Keep people from their docs ($$)
• Keep people off drugs ($)
• Keep people at home
Implications
Clinical operations are shifting to hospital and
physician ‘centered’ services that will rely heavily
on health information technologies to monitor,
coordinate, and manage care.
• Successful Transition in Care resulting in
Reduced Hospital Readmission Rates
• Proactive population management
• Patient engagement and collaboration
• Disease prevention through wellness and
obesity management
• Chronic disease management
• Care coordination and collaboration
• Metrics and analytics

Genomics
Secondary
Aggregation
Social Interactions
Biosensors
•Can be collected infrequently
•Personalized
• Prospective
•Potentially predictive
•Digital
•Family history is easier

Opportunities in Accountable Tech
What customers want and what we create are not aligned
Cost per patient per
procedure / treatment
going up but without
ability to explain why
Cost for same
procedure / treatment
plan highly variable
across localities
Unable to compare
drug efficacy across
patient populations
Unable to compare
health treatment
effectiveness across
patients
Variability in fees and
treatments promotes
fraud
Lack of visibility of
entire patient record
causes medical errors
