Analytics-Driven Healthcare: Improving Care, Compliance and CostCognizant
In the face of skyrocketing costs, the healthcare industry is addressing inefficiencies by improving data sharing and collaboration across the industry value chain and applying analytics to improve operations and patient outcomes.
This document discusses the financial challenges facing hospital CFOs as the healthcare system transitions to value-based care. It notes that healthcare costs are rising faster than GDP and revenues, driven by factors like legislation and an aging population. This is putting pressure on CFOs to control costs. The top priorities for capital expenditures according to a survey are mergers and acquisitions to gain efficiencies of scale, investing in clinical technology and new facilities to improve patient care and outcomes, and transition to value-based models. Reduced reimbursements from Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance exchanges are a major concern as they squeeze hospital margins. CFOs must allocate scarce capital to address these challenges while implementing electronic medical records and meeting other regulatory requirements.

Providers need to move towards real-time analytics that have become critical to demonstrate their quality of care, as reimbursement by government programs can be contingent upon how providers are measured in “Quality of Care”. For example, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015, also called the Permanent Doc Fix, changes the way Medicare doctors are reimbursed with the implementation of a merit based incentive. The performance-based pressure is huge, which makes it imperative that every provider consider technology solutions. Read more at https://www.solix.com/solutions/data-driven-solutions/healthcare/
Healthcare data and its impact upon the patient care decision process via accurate, real-time, reliable data from disparate sources is creating a digital health revolution. Data-driven healthcare is beginning to have a huge impact addressing the challenges of every provider, through efficient handling of huge volumes of patient care data.
Regulatory reforms and advances in technology are enabling a shift from reactive, provider-centric healthcare to proactive, population-based healthcare management. This involves collecting and analyzing patient data from multiple sources to better understand patient needs, identify patterns, and implement preventative programs and automated interventions. The goal is to improve health outcomes and reduce costs by keeping populations healthy and minimizing expensive medical procedures. Healthcare organizations must adopt new data-driven care models, tools, and workflows to effectively manage population health.

Hospitalist programs are increasingly used by hospitals to manage the shift to value-based care and reduce costs. The use of hospitalists has grown significantly, with approximately 75% of hospitals now utilizing hospitalists. Hospitalist programs can improve outcomes, drive cost efficiencies, and increase reimbursements by reducing lengths of stay and readmission rates. While hospitalists provide benefits, there is debate around their impact on overall patient health and outcomes. As value-based payments increase, demand for hospitalists is expected to continue growing as they help hospitals achieve quality metrics and financial targets.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

What’s Driving M&A Activity in Predictive
Analytics for Healthcare?
In recent years awareness of the power of predictive analytics has swelled. It has been the focal point
of reporting by news outlets such as CNN and CBS and is at the core of the trading strategies that
generated billions of dollars of profits discussed in the best-selling books Flash Boys and Dark Pools.
Algorithms which lie at the center of predictive modeling are being used increasingly in the healthcare
industry to reduce costs and improve outcomes for patients and populations.
The shift from fee-for-service to value-based reimbursement, the
proliferation of digital health data and other factors are driving rapid
adoption of predictive analytics by providers and payors. Venture
capital funding of predictive analytics companies has ballooned since
2011. More recently, M&A activity in the sector has increased. Given
the industry’s supernormal growth and high level of fragmentation, we
expect M&A to accelerate in 2016 and beyond.
A More Robust Assessment than Traditional Healthcare
Predictive analytics is the process of learning from historical data in
order to make predictions about the future (or any unknown).1
It relies
on applications driven by algorithms that recognize patterns in vast
amount of data. In healthcare, predictive analytic applications draw
inferences about the probability of patients developing certain
conditions or the worsening of existing conditions.
Deployment of predictive analytics in healthcare is still in its early
stages and it differs in many ways from traditional healthcare
protocols. In traditional healthcare, the patient is diagnosed utilizing
a deterministic model and medical treatment is prescribed based on
molecular data. Predictive analytics can deliver a more robust
diagnosis by leveraging a probabilistic model that uses more
comprehensive data for decision making – including molecular,
demographic, social, administrative, clinical and patient generated/
reported information.
Shift from Fee-For-Service to Value-Based Healthcare
The application of predictive analytics has accelerated due to the
emphasis on value-based reimbursement enshrined in the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) coupled with the
abundance of digital data now being collected in Electronic
Health Records (EHRs). In January 2015 the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), the largest payor in the U.S.,
announced a goal of transitioning 85% of Medicare fee-for-
service reimbursement into fee-for-value payments by the end of
20162
, with value including lowering costs, improving outcomes
and creating a better patient experience3
. Commercial payors are
following CMS’ lead by doing the same through capitation,
bundled payments and similar reimbursement models.
Rapid Growth of Big Data
The amount of healthcare data captured and stored digitally is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 63.1% catapulting from 500
petabytes in 2012 to 25,000 petabytes by 2020.1
This explosion in
data is fueled in part by the financial incentives and penalties
embedded in Health Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act) of 2009 which set standards for
the certification of EHRs and the use of structured data in EHRs. For
example by the end of 2015, providers must incorporate 55% of all
laboratory tests as structured data within their EHR in order to
continue to receive incentive payments and not incur Medicare
reimbursement cuts.4

This is a leap forward as one of the biggest issues in analytics is
data consistency. Obtaining timely data remains a challenge as it
may take a provider several months to receive claims data detailing
prior healthcare services and prescriptions filled by another provider
due to reluctance to share data. As structured electronic health data
grows and timeliness improves the ability to use predictive analytics
expands dramatically.
Huge Opportunity for Cost Savings
Predictive analytics can address three categories that unnecessarily
cost the healthcare delivery system in the U.S. approximately
$350 billion annually: overtreatment, care delivery failure and lack of
care coordination. Overtreatment due to the incentives created by
the fee-for-service reimbursement model is estimated to cost
$192 billion, failures of care delivery where patients do not receive
appropriate medical treatment by the provider costs approximately
$128 billion and lack of care coordination where, post discharge,
patients are not properly cared for costs $35 billion.5
Diverse, Long-Term Drivers of Demand
Payors have been applying predictive analytic tools for years using
claims data to assess risk pools and determine insurance premiums.
Under value based reimbursement, providers are now bearing
increased levels of financial responsibility for outcomes causing
them to turn to predictive analytics to stratify risks, prevent/lower
readmissions, model for anomalies, more effectively manage patients
with chronic diseases and fill care gaps.6
Risk stratification: Few healthcare providers did health forecasting
until value based reimbursement increased their financial exposure.
Today, providers can use predictive analytics to more reliably
forecast the cost of care using risk stratification to compare
forecasted costs to capitation payments from payors or, if the
provider is reimbursed through payment bundling, episodes of care.7
Under the fee-for-value model, Accountable Care Organizations
(ACOs) that meet thresholds on 33 value measures and reduce
costs by more than a minimum amount qualify for highly attractive
incentive payments. These payments can equal up to 50% of the
amount the provider saves CMS above a benchmark related to their
historical performance.8
In addition, after three years ACOs face
financial penalties if they do not meet performance thresholds. Use
of predictive analytics facilitates meeting these measures by ACOs.
Readmission prevention and care gaps: CMS imposes financial
penalties on hospitals with high rates of patient readmissions for a
growing number of conditions. By combining predictive analytics
and work flow automation tools, providers are able to identify
patients with care gaps enabling case managers to connect with
more patients in ways ranging from high-touch case management to
telemedicine and web based education and coaching. Lowering
care gaps and improving care during the 30 day transition away from
the hospital reduces readmission rates.
Chronic disease management: While financial forecasting and
readmission prevention currently drive predictive modeling by
providers, many believe the most important use of predictive
analytics will be in population health management as chronic
diseases account for as much as 75% of healthcare costs.9
Catastrophic costs: Because the health risk of individuals is always
changing, a few outliers have been known to create catastrophic
costs. Predictive analytics assists in factoring in these anomalies.

Venture Capital and M&A Activity in the Sector
Since 2011, venture funding of healthcare predictive analytics
companies has grown at a CAGR 72.6%, with over $1.9 billion invested
from 2011 through Q3 2014. The most active investors include Khosla
Ventures, Merck Global Health Innovation Fund, Northwest Venture
Partners, Sequoia Capital and Social Capital Partnership.10
The overwhelming majority of M&A deals in healthcare predictive
analytics over the last two years have been by strategic acquirers
(90%) such as IBM (NYSE:IBM), Welltok, ZirMed, Telligen and
Millennium Health with the balance comprised of add-on acquisitions
by financial buyers. M&A in this industry has been growing with 17
announced deals in 2015 (42% more than the 12 deals in 2014).11
Two notable transactions include IBM’s expansion into the space
through simultaneously announced acquisitions of Phytel, Inc. and
Explorys, Inc. on April 13, 2015. Another notable deal is the
acquisition of Predilytics by Welltok to create the healthcare industry’s
first analytics-driven consumer enterprise platform that not only
identifies which consumers to target, but also engages them with the
most relevant health improvement resources and incentives.12
Predictive analytics in healthcare is a young and rapidly advancing
application with many venture backed companies that could become
acquisition targets in the near future such as GingerJo, KYRUUS,
RedBrick Health, Health Catalysts and SVBio. Even with IBM’s
active M&A foray, dominant players have not yet emerged. The field
remains highly fragmented. M&A activity will likely accelerate
in 2016 and beyond as venture funds seek exits and industry players
vie for market share, scale and marketplace power.

Duff & Phelps - Healthcare Information Technology - Second Half 2015
1. Matt, congratulations on a productive year at Arlington
Capital Partners (Arlington) – the firm made three new
platform investments, closed an add-on acquisition and
exited from three portfolio companies. How does Arlington
differentiate itself from similar sized private equity firms, few
of which achieved this level of activity in 2015?
Arlington is focused on investing in a core set of regulated
industry verticals including healthcare, aerospace and defense
and government contracting. My partners and I have worked
together in these regulated industries for approaching 15 years.
Our industry focus and thesis-driven investment strategy enables
us to identify growth trends and companies of interest in advance
of a transaction, and move quickly to complete transactions
efficiently and with certainty. The majority of our transactions,
including our recent Healthcare IT investment Ontario Systems,
are recapitalizations in partnership with founding management.
We believe that founders and senior management, who are
retaining a significant ongoing ownership stake in their
businesses, are looking for partners such as Arlington that are
industry focused and can bring to bear value add through our
domain expertise and breadth of industry relationships.
2. How has Arlington managed to find value in making new
investments in what has been characterized as a seller’s
market in 2015?
Two of our three platform investments in 2015 were healthcare
investments - Avalign Technologies and Ontario Systems. Both
companies operate in segments of the broader healthcare industry
that Arlington has been proactively pursuing investment
opportunities within for several years - Avalign in the outsourced
medical device manufacturing industry and Ontario in the revenue
cycle management (RCM) software industry. Given our advanced
knowledge of these healthcare segments and their strategic
landscapes, we were well positioned to evaluate the investments
efficiently and expeditiously identify opportunities for value creation.
Both companies possess strong incumbent management teams
that we are pleased to partner with as we look to continue growing
the businesses. And in both cases, Arlington diligenced the
opportunities in partnership with operating executives from our
network that have subsequently joined the board of directors of the
companies to support strategic growth initiatives.
3. As you mentioned, in September Arlington acquired Ontario
Systems, a market leading provider of RCM software and
solutions to healthcare providers, outsourced RCM and
accounts receivable management (ARM) firms and
government clients. What aspects of the business attracted
you to Ontario Systems?
Ontario Systems is benefiting from strong underlying growth
trends in the healthcare payments marketplace. Over the last
four years consumer payments to healthcare providers have
grown approximately 200%, making patients the third largest
payor to hospitals after Medicare and Medicaid. Ontario’s
software products provide critical workflow and compliance
solutions to healthcare providers, including six of the top ten
hospital systems in the U.S. The company has an attractive
recurring revenue model and is experiencing strong top line and
profitability growth. Recently, Ontario has garnered several large
hospital client wins and is well positioned to continue to increase
its strong market position.
4. Is Ontario Systems purely an organic growth story for
Arlington or can we expect to see it be an active acquirer too?
Given the strong market growth opportunity available to Ontario,
and the company’s leadership position, we plan to prioritize
organic growth in the business. There are several areas of
additional development within the company’s product portfolio
that we are currently pursuing. However, at the same time, we
continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions that would expand the
company’s software solutions with complementary technology
offerings. Within Arlington’s broader portfolio, add-on
acquisitions have been a significant source of accretive growth
for our companies. We have averaged approximately three
add-on acquisitions per investment platform.

6. 209 HCIT transactions were announced in 2015, as compared to
198 transactions announced in 2014. Activity in the sector was
supported by acquirers seeking solutions to address not only broad
concerns surrounding electronic record integration and meaningful
use, but also by issues affecting the revenue cycle as reimbursement
pressure and complexity of coding persists. Strategic buyers,
including portfolio companies of financial investors, represented
93% of activity with new platform acquisitions by financial investors
representing the remaining 7% of announced deals.
Healthcare IT MA activity
Due to the ever increasing amount of data being created,
healthcare organizations have had a need to increase the amount of
computation and storage of data within their infrastructure. The
lower cost and elasticity of cloud based options as a solution to this
problem has been clearly evident with approximately 25% of MA
activity being related to cloud based solutions for a range of HCIT
products including EHR’s, digital image storage, billing services
among many others, according to SP Capital IQ. The passing of
the Cybersecurity Act of 2015 including its nine legislative pages
related to healthcare cybersecurity has also driven an increased
focus on cybersecurity measures with a particular focus on cloud
based solutions and is expected to drive further MA activity in the
future.
The largest transaction announced in the second half of 2015 was
the $2.7 billion sale of MedAssets, Inc. (NasdaqGS:MDAS) to
Pamplona Capital Management, which was announced in November
and is expected to close by the end of January 2016. Pamplona
intends to split MedAssets rolling the RCM business into its portfolio
company, Precyse Solutions. The remaining operations, group
purchasing and consulting, will be sold to the VHA-UHC Alliance. Dr.
Jeremy Gelber, a partner at Pamplona who moved the firm into the
healthcare space when he was hired in 2013 noted that “When you
put that whole thing together, you’re giving the CFO accountability
across the revenue cycle,”…“Marrying in clinical and financial
information, that’s really important in the value-based world.”
Other notable transactions in the seconf half of 2015 included the
acquisition of Altegra Health by Change Healthcare (formerly known
as Emdeon, Inc.) and the acquisition of Merge Healthcare by IBM.

On August 6, IBM announced its $995 million acquisition of Merge
Merge Healthcare provides medical image handling and processing
technology. “Merge will become part of IBM’s new Watson Health
business unit, bolstering IBM clients’ ability to analyze and cross-
reference medical images against 315 billion data points already in
the Watson Health Cloud, including lab results, electronic health
records, genomic tests, clinical studies, and other health-related
data sources. Merge’s clients could compare new medical images
with a patient’s medical history as well as populations of similar
patients to detect changes and anomalies” IBM said in announcing
the deal. “Insights generated by Watson could then help healthcare
providers and researchers to pursue more personalized approaches
to diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients.” Merge’s
technology platforms are used at more than 7,500 U.S. healthcare
sites, as well as many of the world’s leading clinical research
institutes and pharmaceutical firms to manage a growing body of
medical images. IBM noted that, “It is anticipated that these
organizations will look to use the Watson Health Cloud to surface
new insights from a consolidated, patient-centric view of current and
historical images, electronic health records, consumer contributed
data from wearable devices and other related medical data, in a
HIPAA-enabled cloud environment.”
On September 16, Ontario Systems announced its acquisition by
Arlington Capital Partners. Ontario Systems is a leading revenue
cycle management (RCM) and accounts receivable management
(ARM) technology and services provider. Michael Wolfe, Chief
Technology Officer with Ontario Systems said, “Partnering with
Arlington Capital was a natural step in our growth… …They bring a
great deal of experience to the table in growing software
companies. That expertise will help us accelerate our existing

at Arlington Capital said, “Ontario Systems’ software serves as the
primary workflow engine for its customers’ mission-critical RCM
and ARM activities. With its dual focus on both optimal
performance and robust compliance, OS solutions have led the
industry and driven strong growth at the Company. We look
forward to partnering with the Ontario Systems team to support
the Company’s strategic growth trajectory in the healthcare RCM,
ARM and government verticals.”
After rejection of a bid to buy Accretive Health (OTCPK: ACHI) in
July, Ascension Health Alliance, through its principal investment
arm Ascension Ventures, teamed with TowerBrook Capital
Partners to form an investment vehicle, which entered into a
definitive agreement to invest $200 million in Accretive, according
to the press release. The transaction is expected to be completed
in the first quarter of 2016. Emad Rizk, M.D., President and Chief
