3. Healthcare transformation is happening, driven by
fundamental shifts in expectations and critical drivers
Expectations for better
quality, value and
outcomes
Escalating incidence and
cost of chronic disease
Changing demographics
and lifestyles
Globalization of health
care
Critical resource
shortages
Increased competition
and new entrants
Advances in
technologies
and treatments

4. Old Healthcare New Healthcare
Fee for service Pay for performance
Volume Value
Delivery Quality Outcome
Employer-centric Consumer-centric
Prices unknown Cost transparency
One way dialogue Engaged & mobile
Transactional Brand loyal
Data poor & disconnected Integrated rich “big” data
Reactive Predictive & prescriptive
Standards Personalized & optimized
This transformation is an evolution …
to a new model for healthcare

5. Healthcare is moving to a system focused on value,
coordinated around the individual,
and integrated into our communities
Focus is on value,
coordinated around the
individual and integrated
into communities
Emphasis is on proactive
care to meet health needs
Payment will be based on
value and outcomes
Care is standardized
according to evidence-
based guidelines
We measure quality and
make rapid changes to
improve it

6. The new model is Value Based Care –
centered around the patient
Value =
Experience
Cost
Taking steps to achieve better
results, and improve customer
(patient) satisfaction
Reducing waste, reducing
errors, managing risk, improving
efficiency and quality
Organizations
are on a journey
to improve value

9. Mobile is being exploited to:
Facilitate anytime anywhere access to data and extend
services beyond traditional settings
Develop new engagement techniques and health strategies
with patients and consumers
Gain insights to provide more personalized, proactive
interventions; bring analytics to the point of care
Slide 9
11. The Power of Patient Engagement:
Population Health Management requires Patient Engagement
Capture and incorporate
preferences
Personalize offerings
and services
Innovate to deliver quality,
convenience and total
experience
“Know me”
“Engage me”
“Empower me”
• What’s my history?
• What are my preferences?
• How will I respond?
• What will motivate me?
• Respect my privacy
• Engage in the preferred dialog
• Be relevant (“right information”)
• Be consistent across touch points
• Show sincerity -- “you care”
• Give me the information I need
• Connect me with relevant communities
• Simplify control and access
• Enable action and convenience
Slide 11
12. Trends Supporting Greater Patient Engagement
The way we pay for and deliver care is changing.
Health IT adoption has reached a tipping point.
Technology is getting better, cheaper, faster
and more ubiquitous.
Consumers increasingly expect online
engagement, in all aspects of their lives.

14. So what is driving “Consumerism” in healthcare?
Source: Healthcare Payer News, May 2014
• Cost shifting – “out of
pocket” costs are
increasing for individual
healthcare consumers
• There is an increase in
the use of High
Deductible plans and
Health Savings Accounts
(HSAs), leading to more
consumer price sensitivity
Slide 14
15. New business models for delivering care are emerging,
providing people with more “choice”
