STARTING THE REVOLUTION
PEDIATRICS & PREV MED
FEW OPTIONS TO PRACTICE
NO OPTIONS TO USE TECHNOLOGY
I HAD TO STEP BACK IN TIME
10 YRS TO USE TODAY’S HEALTH IT
I AM A MILLENNIAL DOCTOR
WELL...ALMOST
I’M 32
I COMMUNICATE LIKE A MILLENNIAL
I USE MILLENNIAL TECHNOLOGY
GEN X AND MILLENNIAL PATIENTS
THEY USE MILLENNIAL TECHNOLOGY
AND THEY NEED A DOCTOR
WE USE THE NET TO COMMUNICATE
WE USE THE NET TO CONNECT
IT’S VERY EFFICIENT
IT’S VERY FUN
IT’S JUST PLAIN NORMAL
YOU CAN’T CONNECT WITH DOCTORS
I CHANGED THAT.
WORLD’S FIRST “VIRTUAL” PRACTICE
I DIDN’T HAVE AN OFFICE
I HAD A WEBSITE
AND A NEIGHBORHOOD
AND YOUR APARTMENT
I CONNECTED WITH MY PATIENTS
EMAIL, IM, SMS, VIDEO CHATS
I SAW THEM IN THEIR HOME
I HAD ALMOST NO OVERHEAD
$1500
TECHNOLOGY GAVE ME FREEDOM
WE COMMUNICATED HOW WE WANTED
AND WE DID IT EFFECTIVELY
AND EFFICIENTLY
THAT’S WHAT THE NET DOES
TELL ME THEIR SYMPTOMS ONLINE
BRANCH LOGIC QUESTIONNAIRE
LOOK AT MY GOOGLE CALENDAR
SCHEDULE THEIR OWN APPT
iPHONE ALERTS ME I HAVE AN APPT
I SEE THEM IN THEIR APARTMENT
I CHARGED A REASONABLE FEE
$100 - $150 PER HOUSE CALL
AND PEOPLE PAID ME CASH
0
75
150
225
300
SEPT OCT NOV DEC
MY PRACTICE
TRADITIONAL PRACTICE
THREE TIMES THE RATE
HALF WERE INSURED
STILL PAID ME CASH
I WAS ACCESSIBLE
I COMMUNICATED NORMALLY
WE HAD A RELATIONSHIP
THAT WE BOTH VALUED
CLIENTS WERE WILLING TO PAY
A REASONABLE PRICE
VALUABLE, ACCESSIBLE SERVICE
I AM A DOCTOR IN BROOKLYN
WHO HUNG UP HIS SHINGLE
VIA THE WEB
7,000,000 HITS IN 3 MONTHS
WHY?
I SAW A NEED
AND I FILLED IT
STRAIGHT TO THE CONSUMER
MEET THE NEEDS OF...
|kənˈsoōmər|
WHAT IS THAT?
TWO DEFINITIONS
a person who purchases goods and services for personal use1
a person or thing that eats or uses something2
WHICH APPLIES TO HEALTHCARE?
I SAY #2
AN ANALOGY
YOU NEED TO BUY CLOTHES
EVERYONE NEEDS CLOTHES
LUCKY YOU
YOUR OWN PERSONAL SHOPPER
YOU HAVE NO FASHION SENSE
YOU DESPERATELY NEED HELP
HE’LL CHOOSE YOUR CLOTHES FOR YOU
HE HAS A GRADUATE DEGREE FROM F.I.T.
HE TRAINED THERE FOR NINE YEARS
HE’S VERY OVERWORKED
BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS CLOTHES
YOU WAIT HOURS
HE’S THE BOTTLENECK
THE ALTERNATIVE = NAKED
ONLY THE BEST FOR YOU
YOU LOOK GOOD = HE LOOKS GOOD
COST ISN’T AN ISSUE
WHY?
HE DOESN’T KNOW, NOR DOES HE CARE
HE’S TOO BUSY FOR SUCH TRIVIALITIES
AND LUCKY YOU
YOU DON’T CARE EITHER!
SOMEONE ELSE IS PICKING UP THE TAB!
HE TAKES YOUR MEASUREMENTS
HIS TOOLS ARE SO PRECISE
TAPE MEASURE = $50,000
HE’S PARTICULAR ABOUT HOW YOU LOOK
AND IF YOU’RE NOT HAPPY...
YOU SUE HIM!
HE WRITES THE ORDER
YOU PICK UP YOUR SUIT
FROM THE MOST CONVENIENT STORE
PAY YOUR $10
AND LEAVE WITH YOUR $5000 SUIT
OBVIOUSLY CRAZY
EVEN CRAZIER THAN PRE-INTERNET
STORES COMPETED IN LOCAL PAPERS
NO EASY WAY TO COMPARE COSTS
ALONG CAME THE PRICE REVOLUTION
THE DINOSAURS WERE SCARED!!!
LITTLE DID THEY KNOW...
THIS WOULD ACTUALLY INCREASE REVENUE
CUSTOMERS = MORE, SIMPLIFIED!SELLERS = LESS, COMPLEX!
CONSUMER IGNORANCE = $
BUT IN FACT...
CONSUMER KNOWLEDGE = $$$
THEN CAME THE QUALITY REVOLUTION
THE DINOSAURS WERE SCARED!!!
SELLERS HAD TO BE ACCOUNTABLE
YOUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON YOUR REP
PRODUCTS HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE
AGAIN...
THE DINOSAURS WERE SCARED!!!
SALES DEPEND ON YOUR QUALITY
THE DINOSAURS THAT DIDN’T CHANGE
SIMPLY DIED
WAS IT A METEOR?
NO...
IT WAS AN UNCOORDINATED
SMOLDERING ATTACK
FROM A BUNCH OF GENIUS NOBODIES
THAT CHANGED BUSINESS FOREVER
THAT CHANGED THE WORLD FOREVER
WHERE IS THE HEALTHCARE REVOLUTION?
+
IT’S SIMPLY NOT HAPPENING
WHY?
HEALTHCARE IS OFFLINE
NO ONLINE HEALTHCARE TRANSACTIONS
ONLY HEALTH INFORMATION
NO PROVIDER-PATIENT CONNECTIVITY
THE PAYORS ARE IN THE WAY
AGAIN...THE PAYORS ARE IN THE WAY
DOES PAYPAL GET IN THE WAY OF EBAY?
NO!
PAYPAL ENHANCES EBAY
DOES VISA GET IN THE WAY OF AMAZON?
NO!
VISA ENHANCES AMAZON
WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS?
FOLLOW THE EVOLUTION OF THE NET
START TRANSACTING ONLINE
MAKE DOCS MORE ACCOUNTABLE(SELLERS)
MAKE THEIR PRODUCTS MORE ACCOUNTABLE(DOCTOR SERVICES)
QUESTION CURRENT QUALITY PRACTICES
WHAT IS PHYSICIAN QUALITY?
THE DEGREE TO WHICH HEALTH SERVICES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND POPULATIONS INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF DESIRED HEALTH OUTCOMES AND ARE CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE
HUH?
WHAT DOES THIS REALLY MEAN TO DOCS?
DO I DELIVER GOOD HEALTHCARE?
HOW DO I KNOW?
I LIKE TO THINK I DO
BUT DO I REALLY?
THE BMJ RECKONS THAT 50% OF THE TREATMENTS I USE IN GENERAL PRACTICE AREN’T PROVED, AND 5% ARE PRETTY HARMFUL BUT I STILL USE THEM
HOW DO I PROVE I IMPROVE OUTCOMES?
IN MY PAPER CHARTS
OMG!
I HAVEN’T DONE A CHART REVIEW
SINCE MEDICAL SCHOOL
BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS...
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR PATIENTS?
DID MY DOCTOR INCREASE MY LIKELIHOOD OF FEELING BETTER?
DID SHE USE CURRENT PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE TO HELP ME FEEL BETTER?
GEEZ...I HOPE SO
BUT HOW DO I KNOW?
WHERE IS THE INFO TO PROVE THIS?
IN MY PAPER CHART IN MY DOC’S OFFICE
OMG!
I CAN’T EVEN READ THE HANDWRITING!
AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN???
$100 TO FAX IT TO ME!
FOUR WEEKS FROM NOW!
HERE’S THE POINT
MEASURING INDIVIDUAL PHYSICIAN QUALITY WITH THE CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE IS IMPOSSIBLE, UNREALISTIC, AND FAR FROM THE ACCEPTED SCIENTIFIC METHOD
HEALTHCARE DATA = PRE-EXCEL ERA
HEALTHCARE DELIVERY = 1960’s
HEALTHCARE TRANSACTIONS = PRE-EBAY
WE ARE SCIENTISTS
WE EXPECT RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED, DOUBLE-BLINDED STUDIES
JUST LIKE MEDICATIONS
PHYSICIAN QUALITY IS AN INTERVENTION
DO YOU THINK YOUR PATIENTS ARE A RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED, DOUBLE-
BLINDED STUDY?
DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE ENOUGH SIMILAR PATIENTS TO MAKE THIS DATA
RELIABLE AND REPEATABLE?
MOST DOCTORS ARE AVERAGE DOCTORS
WE FOLLOW A BELL CURVE
SOME ARE REALLY GOODMOST ARE AVERAGE
SOME ARE REALLY BAD
HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO KNOW??
DOCTOR RATINGS?
COME ON ALREADY!
CONSUMER INFORMATION IS FREE!
10,000 TVs = 36 RATINGS
2,000 PATIENTS = 5 RATINGS?
RELIABLE RATINGS DEPEND ON VOLUME
VOLUME DEPENDS ON INCENTIVES
THERE ARE NO INCENTIVES
BLOWING OFF SOME STEAM
TELLING STRANGERS HOWWONDERFUL YOUR DOCTOR IS
LET’S RETHINK QUALITY “RATINGS”
WHAT DO PEOPLE EXPECT FROM DOCS?
HOW DO CONSUMERS VIEW QUALITY?
THOROUGHNESS
THEIR OWN, REGULAR DOCTOR
A WARM, FRIENDLY DOCTOR
TIMELY APPOINTMENTS
APPOINTMENT OPTIONS
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
CONSUMERS WANT:
THEIR OWN THOROUGH, FRIENDLY DOCTOR WHO WILL SEE THEM WHEN AND
HOW THEY WANT TO BE SEEN
HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS HAPPEN?
+
START TRANSACTING ONLINE
TAKE LESSONS FROMEBAY, AMAZON, AND KAYAK
WE NEED TO STOP PRODUCING MORE CONSUMER HEALTH INFORMATION
FOCUS ON TRANSACTIONS
USE THE NET TO CONNECT PATIENTSWITH THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD DOCTORS
FACE-TO-FACE AND ONLINE
PAID FOR BY INDIVIDUALS, NOT PAYORS

RECRUIT DOCTORS.GO MOBILE.
LET E-PATIENTS LEAD.
START RECRUITING DOCTORS1
PCPs ARE GETTING RESTLESS
THEY’RE SICK OF WORKING LIKE DOGS FOR SOMEONE ELSE’S PROFITS
THEY’RE SICK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THEIR JOB WELL
BECAUSE THEY GET PAID FOR VOLUME
AND THAT PAY DECREASES EVERY YEAR
SOCIAL NETWORKING DOCTOR BLOGS
“HYPERLINKS SUBVERT HIERARCHY”
-THE CLUETRAIN MANIFESTO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HYPERLINKS
BOTTOM UP APPROACH
TO CREATE A UNIFIED PHYSICIAN VOICE
THE INTERNET ORGANIZES GROUPS
WE HAVE TO GIVE DOCS ALTERNATIVES
OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ENTREPRENEURS
A PROFITABLE BUSINESS MODEL
TECHNOLOGY AND TOOLS TO CREATE“THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCE”
DIFFERENTIATE THEMSELVES FROM“THE COMPETITION”
COMPETITION:TRADITIONAL, OVERWORKED,
UNDERPAID, INSURANCE-TAKING, TOO BUSY TO CARE DOCTORS
ADVERTISING AND MARKETING SUPPORT
BECAUSE DOCS DON’T DO THIS WELL
THIS WILL SPREAD VIRALLY WITHIN DOCTOR COMMUNITIES
WE’RE ALL LOOKING FOR A BETTER WAY
GO MOBILE2
INTERNET COMMUNICATION IS NORMAL
SMS, IM, VIDEO, FACEBOOK, MYSPACE
IT’S HOW WE COMMUNICATE
IT’S ACCESSIBLE.
IT’S UBIQUITOUS.
IT’S EFFICIENT.
THERE IS NO DIGITAL DIVIDE
WE NEED TO CREATEFACEBOOK FOR HEALTHCARE
A WEB PLATFORM
WHERE DOCS CONNECT WITH THEIR PATIENTS
ONLINE AND IN-PERSON
TO COMMUNICATE AND COORDINATE
A MARKETPLACE BASED ON CASH
WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PAYORS
NO MIDDLEMEN
PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS CONNECTING DIRECTLY
TRANSACT ONLINE
LET E-PATIENTS LEAD3
WHAT ARE E-PATIENTS?
e-Patients represent the new breed of informed health consumers, using the Internet to gather information about a medical condition of particular interest to them.
The term encompasses both those who seek online guidance for their own ailments and the friends and family members who go online on their behalf.
e-Patients report two effects of their online health research—better health information and services, and different (but not always better) relationships with their doctors.
CONNECT DOCTORS WITH E-PATIENTS
USE THE INTERNET AS A TOOL
TO EDUCATE PATIENTS
HAND-PICKED INFORMATION
PERSONALIZED TO YOU.
WHO ARE E-PATIENTS?
THOSE WITHOUT AN ACCESSIBLE PCP
