Willowglade Technologies has developed a centralized, patient-centric IT platform called the Personalized Patient Experience Platform to improve care coordination and patient engagement. The platform provides tools to keep patients informed and connected throughout their care and allows providers to better monitor patients. It addresses the current fragmented and provider-focused nature of healthcare by placing the patient at the center of the care coordination process. The company is raising $1.25 million to further develop the platform and expand sales and marketing efforts to target the growing markets for chronic condition management and oncology care, where their platform could qualify for CMS reimbursement and help reduce healthcare costs.
Computer Information Systems and the Electronic Health RecordRebotto89
Paper-based health records are being replaced by electronic health records (EHRs) to improve patient care. A clinical information system (CIS) is a collection of applications that provides centralized access to patient information across locations. Choosing a CIS requires input from all users and consideration of costs, which can range from $1-2 million for small hospitals to over $1 billion for large hospitals. Ensuring security of patient data and regular system updates are also important factors in selecting and implementing a CIS/EHR.

The Biggest Healthcare Trends of 2019 and What's to Come in 2020Health Catalyst
In our Healthcare Outlook for 2019 webinar, Stephen Grossbart, PhD, and Bobbi Brown, MBA, shared their predictions for the biggest trends of the year. Which predictions panned out and which didn’t? View this webinar as Stephen takes a look back at 2019 and makes his forecast for 2020.
So, what did happen in 2019? Following the 2018 midterm elections, we predicted a divided Congress would not pass policies to strengthen or weaken the Affordable Care Act (ACA). We were right. Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidates debated the extent to which they would support Medicare for All. Insurance costs continued to rise, breaking $20,000 annually for families with employer-sponsored coverage, and CMS continued to support payment policies rewarding quality and interoperability as part of their payment policy.
Join Stephen as he looks in the rearview mirror at these important issues and how they impacted the healthcare industry in 2019 and then gazes into the crystal ball to predict the trends that will most impact healthcare in 2020. In this webinar, Stephen discusses the following topics and more:
• The continued focus on price transparency.
• Congress’ efforts to control prescription drug costs.
• Policies that may change the future of ACOs.
• What to expect going into the 2020 election year.
The Population Health Management Market 2015Lifelog Health
Population health management is a problem term because it can mean something different to each person who hears it. However, I believe that the words capture the overall spirit and energy of healthcare reform in a unique way.

FTC Spring Privacy Series: Consumer Generated and Controlled Health DataBrian Ahier
Increasingly, consumers are taking a more active role in managing and generating their own health data. For example, consumers are researching their health conditions and diagnosing themselves online. Consumers are also uploading their information into personal health records and apps that allow them to manage and analyze their data, and utilizing connected health and fitness devices that regularly collect information about them and transmit this information to other entities.
The movement of health data outside the traditional medical provider context has many potential benefits; however, it also raises potential privacy concerns. The seminar will address questions such as:
What types of websites, products, and services are consumers using to generate and control their health data, and how are consumers using them?
Who are the companies behind these websites, products, and services, what are their business models, and what does the current marketplace look like?
How can consumers benefit from these companies’ websites, products, and services?
What actions are these companies taking to protect consumers’ privacy and security?
What do consumers expect from these companies regarding privacy and security protections?
Do consumers differentiate between these companies and those that offer traditional medical products and services that are covered by HIPAA?
What restrictions, if any, do advertising networks and others impose on tracking of health data?
This document discusses consumer informatics and the role of patients using technology in their healthcare. It defines key terms like health literacy, patient portals, personal health records, telehealth, and social media. It explains how patients can use applications and online tools to access health information, communicate with providers, track health data, and engage with their care. The document also outlines factors that impact health literacy and provides strategies to improve patient understanding of health information.
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/

It summarizes that these models seek to address long-standing issues with the traditional fragmented healthcare system such as its focus on episodic treatment rather than prevention. Critical to enabling these new models is developing an information technology infrastructure that includes electronic medical records, revenue cycle management systems, clinical decision support, and health information exchange capabilities to facilitate data sharing and population health management.

This document discusses how pharmaceutical companies can use digital health technologies like a patient engagement platform (PEP) to play a greater role in healthcare. A PEP would use tools like sensors, apps, and smart devices to collect patient data and provide personalized support to improve engagement, outcomes and costs. It could offer value to patients, physicians and payors. This allows pharma to address challenges and evolve their business model by demonstrating value, accessing physicians and providing value to payors.
The document discusses how the Patient Success Platform from Salesforce can help healthcare organizations address the challenges of patient-centric care. It provides 3 key capabilities:
1) Acquisition and retention - It treats patients like retail consumers by using tools like physician referral management and customer engagement to attract and retain patients.
2) Collaboration - It promotes modern collaboration among the care team by providing a shared view of patient data and centralized communications.
3) Engagement - It engages patients anytime, anywhere through mobile apps, educational resources, and tools to track goals and care plans.
This helps deliver coordinated, personalized care that improves outcomes and reduces costs.

CHAPTER 4
Assessing Health and Health Behaviors
Objectives
this chapter will enable the reader to:
1. Describe the expected outcomes of a nursing health assessment.
2. Identify the components of a nursing health assessment conducted for an individual client.
3. Examine life span, language, and culturally appropriate nursing health assessment tools for children, adults, and older adults.
4. Compare the similarities and differences among the various approaches to assessing the family, mindful of cultural influences.
5. Evaluate the criteria for conducting a screening in the community.
6. Compare the similarities and differences among the various approaches to assessing
the community.
Athorough assessment of health and health behaviors is the foundation for tailoring a health promotion-prevention plan. Assessment provides the database for making clinical judgments about the client’s health strengths, health problems, nursing diagnoses, desired health or behavioral outcomes, as well as the interventions likely to be effective. This information also forms the nature of the client–nurse partnership such as the frequency of con- tact and the need for coordination with other health professionals. The portfolio of assessment measures depends on the characteristics of the client, including developmental stage and cul- tural orientation. The nurse assesses age, language, and cultural appropriateness of the various measures selected.
Cultural competence is the ability to communicate effectively with people of different cultures. Providing culturally competent care is the cornerstone of the nursing assessment. The nurse’s aware- ness of her own attitude toward cultural differences and her cultural worldview and characteristics

are critical to her understanding and knowledge of various cultures. Recognizing that diversity exists in all cultures based on educational level, socioeconomic status, religion, rural/urban residence, and individual and family characteristics will ensure a more successful encounter (The Office of Minority Health, 2013). An online cultural educational program, designed specifically for nurses and featur- ing videotaped case studies and interactive tools, is available.
The Enhanced National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services, based on a definition of culture expanded to include geography, spirituality, language, race and ethnicity, and biology, provides a practical guide to culturally and linguistically sensitive care (The Office of Minority Health, 2013).
Technology is having a significant impact on health care. The Electronic Health Record (EHR) promotes involvement of the client in developing a dynamic, tailored database. The EHR offers great promise to improve health and increase the client’s satisfaction with his care. Data aggregation, cross-continuum coordination, and clinical care plan management are critical com- ponents of the.

Practical guide on private funding for EU eHealth SMEsgetslidesdeck
The document discusses trends in digital health and investment in Europe compared to the US. Some key points:
1) Venture funding for digital health has grown rapidly in recent years on both sides of the Atlantic, with over $4 billion invested in the US in 2014 alone. However, investment in Europe still lags behind, though some large funding rounds have occurred.
2) Most digital health startups in Europe are still at the seed stage, but more are qualifying for Series A funding and beyond in recent years.
3) Factors holding back more investment in Europe include digital health initiatives still being in early stages of development and a fragmented healthcare system compared to the larger US market. Interviews with an investor

We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address

Overview
Patients are faced with all types of medical conditions
and diseases and have to navigate a complex
landscape of educational, appointment, medication and
logistical needs. As conditions become more complex,
interactions with the healthcare system become more
confusing to the patient.
Depending on the condition, care coordination can
involve:
—— Primary care
—— Specialty care
—— Inpatient care
—— Mental health services
—— Long-term care
—— Medical history
—— Test results
—— Home care
—— Patient/family education & support
—— Medications/pharmacy
—— Community resources
Care coordination software and related technologies
are a growth market, including IT applications for
team-based patient care and for patients transitioning
between care settings. Payers hope to provide better
data for predictive analytics needed to drive population
health programs. Hospitals expect improvement in
patient care and to avoid financial penalties associated
with federal mandates, in addition to higher patient
satisfaction scores and competitiveness. Physicians
want to close information gaps and loopholes, in
addition to improving quality of care and creating new
revenue streams from opportunities such as chronic
condition management.
However, even where technology is leveraged, solutions
are provider-focused and neglect the importance of
patient engagement in the care coordination process.
Nurses use spreadsheets to track patients.They
communicate by phone. Multiple providers are often
involved in care coordination and technologies in
the market today fail to efficiently coordinating these
activities. Setting appointments and tracking follow-ups
with patients and professionals involved in each case
can become difficult to manage effectively.The quality
of care erodes. Meanwhile, the patient is not adequately
engaged.
Patients want to be engaged.
They want to understand their
treatment and related options.
WillowgladeTechnologies has developed a centralized
IT platform which is patient-centric, enabling the patient
to inform and participate in their own care coordination
process.
In addition to providing a means of coordinating
disparate care related activities so that providers
involved in a patient’s care can share important clinical
information and have clear, shared expectations about
their roles in care, Willowglade’s Personalized Patient
Experience Platform deepens the care coordination
paradigm by engaging the patient and placing the
patient at the center of the process.
It provides tools and resources to keep patients and
families informed, connected and to optimize their
experience throughout the care process, and it provides
tools for the care team to monitor, understand patient
progress and engage with the patient when they are not
directly within the walls of the health system.

Investment Brief 3
In order to advance care and improve health outcomes,
patients need to be engaged in their own health and
with their physicians and other care providers. People
are invested in and want to be engaged with their health
and wellness as long as they can trust the source of the
information and engage and be supported by a care
team member.
The WillowgladeTechnologies platform is designed
to support this dramatically enhanced level of patient
involvement.

Market Overview and Key Themes
We believe our market opportunity is massive and
growing. Baby boomers are turning 65 at a rate of
nearly 10,000 individuals a day. Over the next five years,
17 million baby boomers will turn 65. More people
are retiring, joining the Medicare system, developing
chronic health conditions, including cancer and needing
more care as they age.
Our services are focused on the oncology and
chronic health care market.The health care industry
is complex, disconnected and fragmented, and is
largely served by legacy software systems that cannot
support the current needs for collaboration, flexibility
and interoperability. A disproportionate amount of
communication still takes place on paper instead of
via automated communications. Outdated, inflexible
systems and paper workflows create significant costs for
health care organizations, which suffer with substantial
administrative work, duplicated efforts, and errors.
The success of health systems increasingly depend
on their ability to engage patient populations and to
coordinate patient care across a multitude of settings,
while optimizing efficiency along the way.
Competitive Landscape
Our market is quite competitive. However, our primary
competition has traditionally used locally installed
software to manage the various clinical and financial
workflow needs within the medical group or health
system, though more companies are evolving to cloud-
based systems. Companies that we believe are directly
competitive to WillowgladeTechnologies include Care
Merge, CareThread, Health Loop, Navigating Cancer,
Welkin and Well Frame. We believe that our patient-

Chronic Condition Management &
CMS Reimbursement
More than 130 million Americans – one-third of the total
population – suffer from at least one chronic disease.
In addition to the human cost, the financial cost is
staggering. 85% of all healthcare spend goes to the
treatment of chronic diseases, and more than two-thirds
of Medicare dollars are spent on patients with five or
more chronic diseases.
Research studies have demonstrated that care
management reduces total costs of care for chronic
disease patients while improving their overall health.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS)
has introduced new billing (CPT) codes that allow for the
remote management of patients with chronic conditions.
Oncology Care Model and CMS
Reimbursement
Cancer is the second largest cause of death in the U.S.
and related costs of cancer care are $157 billion.1
The
total cost in 2020 is expected to increase to $174 billion.
Each year 650,000 patients in the U.S. receive
chemotherapy in an outpatient oncology clinic2
with
the 65-age and older population having the highest
incidence of diagnosis. Approximately 50% of patients
in oncology practices are Medicare Beneficiaries.The
Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
continues to explore mechanisms to improve quality of
care, while maintaining or improving quality of care and
quality of life indicators.
The goal of CMS is to appropriately align
financial incentives to improve care coordination,
appropriateness of care and access to care for
beneficiaries undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
Research studies have demonstrated that care
management reduces total costs of care for chronic
disease patients while improving their overall health.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS)

remain committed to ongoing development of value-
added services that we can introduce to the market
which will be incremental to our core offering.
We are able to achieve a higher fee structure for Chronic
Care facilities due to CMS reimbursement. In contrast
to the hospital patient fee structure of $0.25 to $1.25 per
patient, we receive a fee of $7.00 to $10.00 per patient in
the Chronic Care business segment. We also anticipate
the same ($10/patient/month) with organizations
engaged with the Oncology Care Model scenario.

Investment Brief 13
Liquidity & Exit Strategy
The digital health sector posted $4.5 billion in total
venture funding in 2015, up from $4.3 billion in 2014.
In total, digital health accounted for 7% of all venture
funding in 2015. 187 M&A deals were consummated,
and $1.4 billion was raised through IPOs to create $8
billion in market capitalization .
Fueled by trends such as the aging population and
rising healthcare costs amidst regulatory uncertainty,
we believe that investor interest and participation in the
digital health sector will remain strong for companies
that can demonstrate viable, scalable solutions designed
to improve care and reduce costs.
As noted above, M&A activity also remains strong. We
expect that as our business gains commercial traction
we will be an attractive acquisition candidate to larger,
more established healthcare firms. In addition, we will
continue to evaluate potential strategies to undertake
an initial public offering onto a national listed exchange
as a means of driving shareholder value and providing
liquidity to our investors.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements/Pursuant to the U.S.
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This investment brief contains, and our officers and representatives may from
time to time make, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe
harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,”
“intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to
future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others,
statements we make regarding launch of products, sales, markets, marketing
strategies, our estimates on future financial performance, revenue growth and
earnings, anticipated levels of capital expenditures and our belief that offering
proceeds will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our business operations over
the next 36 months.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future
performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations
and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and
strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other
future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future,
they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances
that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our
actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated
in the forward-looking statements.Therefore, you should not rely on any of
these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual
results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the
forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
—— We operate in a highly competitive industry, and if we are not able to
compete effectively, our business and operating results will be harmed;
—— The market for cloud-based services for health care information
technology may not develop substantially further or develop more
slowly than we expect, harming the growth of our business;
—— Changes in the health care industry could affect the demand
for our services, cause our existing contracts to terminate, and
negatively impact the process of negotiating further contracts;
—— If we do not continue to innovate and provide services that are
useful to clients and users, we may not remain competitive,
and our revenues and operating results could suffer;
—— We may be unable to adequately protect, and we may incur significant
costs in enforcing our intellectual property and other proprietary rights;
—— We may be sued by third parties for alleged
infringement of their proprietary rights;
—— Our business could be adversely affective if our
clients are not satisfied with our services;
—— We are a development stage company, with little operating
history and predictability as to future performance;
—— Our services and technology may not operate properly, which
could damage our reputation, give rise to claims against us, or
divert application of our resources from other purposes, any
of which could harm our business and operating results;
—— If our security measures are breached or fail or unauthorized access
if obtained to a client’s or member’s data, our services may be
perceived as not being secure, clients and members may curtail or
stop using our services and we may incur significant liabilities;
—— We rely on Internet infrastructure, bandwidth providers, data center
providers, other third parties, and our own systems for providing
services to our users, and any failure or interruption in the services
provided by these third parties by our own systems could expose
us to litigation and negatively impact our relationships with users
or clients, adversely affecting our brand and our business;
—— Government regulation of health care creates risks and challenges
with respect to our compliance efforts and our business strategies;
—— Potential health care reform and new regulatory requirements
placed on our software, services and content could impose increased
costs on us, delay or prevent our introduction of new services,
and impair the function or value of our existing services; and
—— Pressure from competitors with more resources may
limit our market share, profitability and growth.
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this investment brief is based
only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on
which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-
looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time,
whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
