GCC-HIMSS Student EventFebruary 5, 2010 Tom Lee, Ph.D., MBA CEO
My History: Crossing Over • Physics Analytics Mobile Health IT (back to Analytics) • Academia 3 Start-Ups 2 Fortune 500s Start-Up • Academic Engineer CTO Business Dev Product Mgmt CEO • Things I’ve learned: • “Stay hungry, stay foolish”: Passion drives learning a new field • Seek people smarter than you • Get into the details • Search for your unique value-add • Innovation is at the interfaces • Relation to SA Ignite • Passion: Family experience with healthcare shortcomings • Smarter People: Health IT and clinical experts • The Details: Hands-on working with clinicians • Unique Value-Add: Successful start-up experience, professional network, deal-making • Innovation At The Interfaces: Clinicians, engineers, analytics experts working together Proprietary and Confidential
Difficult, Risky, Expensive: Trying to fix an EHR is like trying to fix… The Money Pit • HHS estimates 30 – 50% of EHR implementations fail • According to the MGMA, 50%+ eligible practices won’t earn Meaningful Use incentives • Expensive and time-consuming to find root causes • Example: 100-doc group uses stopwatches to measure workflow bottlenecks • “Tyranny of the Squeaky Wheel” results in ill-informed decisions • Many moving parts associated with fixing an EHR contributes to low success rate • The Last Resort: Switching EHRs is a very expensive proposition The process of trying to fix EHRs is broken. Proprietary and Confidential
What Exactly Is Broken: The Process of Analyzing EHR Deployments • Analogous to early days of internet shopping sites • Current analysis methods • Qualitative: Interviews, focus groups, surveys, shadowing • Quantitative: EHRs’ built-in tools, stopwatches • Data sets are too small Inability to motivate change + “Tyranny of the Squeaky Wheel” • Example: 100-doc group lacks enough data to motivate the EHR vendor • Critical usage data is not captured Hidden issues + inability to find root causes • Example: 600-doc group has Meaningful Use gaps, but can’t find root causes • Analysis is expensive & time-consuming Analysis can’t keep up with new issues arising Current analysis methods are woefully inadequate.

Flipping the Status Quo On Its Head = Higher EHR Return-On-Investment Time & Cost of Analysis Time & Cost of Analysis • Drivers of Greater Knowledge • Capture of EHR usage data that is: • On-going & unobtrusive • Comprehensive • On a massive scale • Powerful analytics • More high-impact issues uncovered • More root causes isolated • Better issue-impact estimates combat “Tyranny of the Squeaky Wheel” Knowledge of EHR Issues Knowledge of EHR Issues • Drivers of Better Performance • More high-impact issues fixed • Better fixes through addressing root causes • Better decisions through more accurate issue- impact estimates • Greater productivity and throughput • Better billing and coding accuracy • Higher EHR Meaningful Use compliance & $ • Greater EHR ease-of-use & user satisfaction • Fewer EHR user errors EHR & Practice Performance Improvement EHR & Practice Performance Improvement With ehrCatalystTM The Status Quo ehrCatalystTM enables ROIs far exceeding those under the status quo.
