THE CHALLENGES
THE CHALLENGES
• Prevalence & Costs of
Chronic Disease
• Incoming Tidal Wave of
Aging Baby Boomers
• Rising Cost of Healthcare
• Poor Quality Outcomes
• End of Life Costs
• Hospital Readmissions
THE FACTS
Cost of chronic disease:
• 133 million Americans (1/3 of total
population) suffer from at least one chronic disease
• 70% of all deaths result from chronic diseases
• 85% of every healthcare dollar goes to treatment of chronic diseases
• 2/3+ of Medicare dollars are spent on patients with 5+ chronic diseases

AGING BOOMERS
Boomers:
• 26% Total U.S. population
• 83 Million Members
• 10,000 baby boomers turn 65
every day

Medicare Rehospitalization Rates*
•21.2 % in 30 days
Average Cost of Rehospitalization*

END OF LIFE COSTS
• Most Americans would prefer to die at home-but only 24% of those over 65 actually do.

• 1 out of 4 Medicare Dollars ($215 B) is
spent on services for 5% of
beneficiaries at end of life
IN-HOME CARE
HOME is:
• Patient Preferred Setting
• Patient Centered
• Lowest Cost Care Setting
• Safest
VOLUME TO VALUE
VOLUME TO VALUE
TRANSFORMATION BEGINNING: FIRST PHASE: 2010-2016
Patient-Centered Care
• Care redesigned around the patient
• Patient-focused multi-disciplinary care teams
• Care teams integrated across care continuum
• Population-based economic models that reward value, not volume
THIRD PHASE: 2018-2025
Science of Prevention
• Low cost DNA sequencing allows for discovery of biomarkers, pathways, & earlier disease detection
• Nearly perfect diagnostic accuracy for personalized treatment
ENDING: SECOND PHASE: 2014-2020
Consumer Engagement
• Cost & performance information
available via web/mobile for
consumer shopping
• Consumers demand better care
• Value-based benefits, social
platforms, & gaming to engage
consumer

“The current system is stuck on fee-for-service,
and it’s a barrier to a better healthcare
model. But I think we’re at a historic time,
with a growing consensus that it’s time to
move away from fee-for-service. Once freed
from that tyranny, creativity is unlocked.”
