5. Consumers are spurring the demand for digital health
Deloitte’s 2009 Survey of Health Care Consumers revealed that consumers are very interested in
use and benefits of a personal health record:
• Over 65% of respondents feel it would be beneficial to have access to the PHR of a family
member whose care they are helping to manage
• Over 60% of respondents are interested in a PHR or online medical record provided by their
doctor’s office, hospital and government
• 2/3 of respondents are interested in health monitoring technologies that can feed data to PHRs
This calls for a personal decision-support model that…
• Centres around the consumer
• Offers self-care, self-
management and learning
capabilities
• Is offered through a trusted
source and secured from
privacy breaches
• Provides a flexible platform for
Deloitte Canadian S&O Template 082407
a consolidated view of a
patient’s health
-5-
6. How will we get there and what will it look like
• In 2020 PHRs will be in broad use by Canadians and a culture shift will have
occurred (e.g. similar to how we conduct on-line banking today).
• New care models such as ACOs will allow for better interaction and sharing of
health information electronically (PHR / EMR linkages). Pay for Performance
• Government, Providers, Professionals, and other organizations will be
expected to post data to an individual’s PHR in order to help them develop a
longitudinal health record (EHR linkage).
• Patients will have ubiquitous access to their record and will not be bound in the
information they see.
• Patients will now be able to view, edit and update their information through the
PHR making them active participants in the maintenance of their health record.
• Patients may be encouraged to interact and sustain their own information as
part of a care plan.
• PHRs can provide the interactive platform for patient self management and
customized care scenarios (e.g. Chronic Disease, healthy lifestyles).

7. Getting to 2020
• What is the overall strategy and plan?
• What are the ownership and structure issues?
• How will PHRs be funded and sustained?
• How can adoption be encouraged (providers, professionals and patients)?
• How do we link back the use to digital health to better outcomes?
• What are the plans for consolidation and re-alignment among current players
(PHR, EMR, etc).
Deloitte Canadian S&O Template 082407
-7-
10. Q1- Who pays and what are the business models for
revenue generation ?
• Current “claim-staking” will not continue and investments will need to be
recovered at some point.
• Some patients may pay (Parents, Care Given/PoA, Chronic Disease Patients)
due to their context.
• Patients will need to experience value (Prescription Refill, Referral, electronic
consult) or their initial interest may fade. Incentive models for use.
• Scale of Canada means that funding sustainment may need to be come from
government to ensure projects continue.
• Accountable Care Organization models are expected to spur innovation in care
delivery and patient self management. Digital Health will be key in linking data
back to outcomes.
• Content linked to health information may provide a new model
• As pressure continues to be applying to health costs, Payers will be looking to
Deloitte Canadian S&O Template 082407
create methods for driving down costs
• Kaiser Permanente – 5 diseases driving over 85% of their health costs.
- 10 -
11. Q2 - What is the role of regulatory agencies ?
• Regulatory Agencies will need to establish expectations on privacy, security
and secondary data use.
• If new operating models are considered like AllScripts in the US, there will be a
need to have oversight to make sure data in not shared inappropriately.
• Balance will need to be struck, medical device-like licensing is a good idea but
does it actually address many of the key risks of digital health.
• Avoid duplication and vendor dominance issues.
• Standards and Compliance
• System Strategy, Investment Plan and Execution
Deloitte Canadian S&O Template 082407

12. Q3 – How do you assure consistency and accuracy of
data?
• Make sure the foundation is right: Identification and linking of health
information to a person is first point of failure
• Maintain the chain of ownership for health data (HIC) and make it immutable.
• Create audit, testing and re-fresh programs to make sure that the feeds are
working properly.
• Allow patients to see their own information (PHRs or Patient Portals).
Deloitte Canadian S&O Template 082407
- 12 -
13. Q4 – Who ensures privacy and security of data ?
• The infrastructure has to be trustworthy. Solid applications and technical
foundation is key to being able to manage and secure information.
• The consent and management models have to be clear, understandable and
accepted.
• Caregivers and other key stakeholders who can access the systems have to
understand their responsibilities and penalty structures should be established.
• Privacy Commissioners should be the enforcers in managing any
discrepancies or violations.
• Who audits the information that is “out there” (e.g. physician offices).
