The time for episodic care has passed

Americans are living less healthy lifestyles. More and more health problems and expenses—up to 84%—result from factors outside the traditional boundaries of healthcare.

66%

of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese²

74%

of adults have more than 2 chronic diseases³

80%

of these diseases are entirely preventable

Having patients on the care team could have a huge impact on costs.

$1,500,000,000,000

in treatment costs

21%

care for disengaged patients can be up to 21% higher than for “activated” patients with the same conditions

$2,500,000,000,000

in avoidable expenses

Doctors are caught in the middle.

Fee-for-service reimbursement models are being phased out for value-based care. This presents significant problems in the present, straining practice infrastructure and creating logistical problems.

Physicians are increasingly responsible for lifestyle-driven outcomes
Non-traditional care settings and sources are more popular but difficult to integrate
Current EMRs are designed for encounter-based documentation
Claims processing systems are designed for encounter-based care

Starting in 2019, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) will base most of the Medicare reimbursements on achievements of quality metrics (MIPS, APM).

Both tracks in MACRA’s Quality Payment Program require significant patient engagement and outreach
Alternative Payment Models (APMs) require direct risks for outcomes
Merit-Based Incentives System (MIPS) will penalize low scorers
In either case, very few practices can generate the data required with existing tools.

The time for accountability is now.

30%

of people who are high risk were in that category 1 year ago

200%

the number of patients who downloaded a health or fitness app has doubled over the past 2 years
