Leveraging Connectivity

Better Patient Care Affordable Health System

Improved AccessImproved Quality

Lower Costs


Improving Access to Care


Challenging Assumptions


Basic Communication Model


What is it about Health Care that makes it so Slow And Expensive?


The Media Has ImprovedThe Processor Has Not.


Barriers to Access:• Distance• Time• Matching Supply to Demand:

– Services Match– Talent Match– Cultural Preferences

• Costs• Language• Self Interest Groups


Bringing Supply and Demand into Balance:

How much Efficiency do you needto Shrink a line-up in Half?

How Much to Shrink it 90%?


Length of Line: Relationship to Capacity Utilization


Basic Economic Research Reveals:

• Doctors Lose 60% of their time to non-clinical activities:

ie. Administration

• Wait Times only spiral when demand is over 85% of system capacity.


Adminisitrative solutions• Division of Labour

– Delegation of simple tasks• 45 triage scenarios cover 80% of presentations, saving an average

of 6 minutes per visit– Centralization of Admin tasks

• Call Handling, Scanning, Claims management– Automation of Logical Repetitive Workflows

• Cut staff expenses from 18% to 10% of productivity– Load Shifting through Patient Engagement

• Wait Time tools, Patient Portals, Remote Check in• Remote Data Capture


Connecting Services and Automating Workflows• The benefits:

– Lower costs– Fewer errors– Faster turnaround– Less rework

• The challenges:– Reduced staffing, changed roles– Increased onus on efficient design– Your processes become visible, including your errors

Improvements By Connecting Patients

Our experience:• Dramatic reduction in Line ups• Timely Care• Higher patient satisfaction• Higher physician satisfaction• Reduced Costs at all levels


Examples of Patient ConnectivityKiosk

Wait Time Tools

Telemedicine

Remote Data Capture for Pre-Triageand Preventive Care Activities


Patient Engagement viaSelf Registration Kiosks


Patients: Real-Time Wait Time Tools


Patient Engagement Through Mobile Portal Access


Mobile Apps & Remote Check-In


Remote Date Capture:On phone, tablet or desktop

eg. Injured PatientComputer Assisted History

(Any Language)


The Pinnacle of LeveragingReal-Time Patient-Doctor Connectivity?

• Bidirectional Patient Communications Automated by Predictive Analytics– Eg. Strep Throat, scripted automated follow-up bi-directionally, with audit trail and MD notification– ANY DATA TRIGGER CAN BE USED:

• Lab Results, • Rx Patterns, • Home Diagnostics, • Preventive Care Demographics• Patient Request


Targeted Cancer

Screening

Breast Cancer

Colon Cancer

Osteoporosis

STI Screening

Cervical Cancer


Real World Outcomes: Ottawa• Population 950,000• 10% of Doctors are in our group, but delivering 15-20% of

all community care.• See a Doctor within 1 hour 7 days a week• See a Specialist within 2 weeks• City of Ottawa Sun-setted its physician recruitment

committee in 2013—Projecting MD ‘surplus’ 2017• No net increase in MD/Population ratio over the past 20

years.Better-Quicker-Less Expensive!
