Consequence: While the recent technological advancement is tremendously helpful for medical consultants, it also generates an enormous volume and variety of data and therefore information overload which can likely cause a reduction in decision quality.3

Market Trends Growing chronic disease burden

2: WHO: “The global burden of chronic”; http://www.who.int/nutrition/topics/2_background/en/, viewed April 4, 2016
Consequence: The rising number of chronic diseases, e.g. due to ageing, rapid unplanned urbanization, and globalization of unhealthy lifestyles causes entire societies to think of interventions to prevent and control them.1 Healthcare providers have to increasingly deal with multimorbidity in patients and need to find approaches to strengthen early detection and timely treatment.

Medicare’s payment rates to clinical laboratories on the Clinical Lab Fee Schedule 1
Consequence: Due to decreasing financial resources, healthcare providers have to find new ways to keep healthcare costs per patients as low as possible while still delivering high-quality medical services. One of the first things to do will often be the improvement of clinical processes.

Market Trends Shift to value-based reimbursement
Siemens Healthcare Whitepaper: “Improving Patient Outcomes – How to define, measure, and increase a positive and reimbursable outcome for patient care”
30 days Medicare reduces
provider compensation if patients are readmitted
within 30 days of discharge
$420 mio approx. 2,700 of the 3,400
Medicare contract hospitals will have cuts
totaling $420 million in fiscal 2016 due to such readmissions
80% of U.S. healthcare organizations
are at least investigating or piloting the transition to
value-based care
32% of U.S. healthcare leaders
see uncertainty about the revenue stream
as no.1 hurdle for the industry’s transition
to value-based care
from
fee-for-service
to
fee-for-value
e.g. Affordable Care Act (ACA) – U.S.
Consequence: As part of the move toward value-based care, patient outcomes are increasingly coming into the spotlight, partly in connection with the trend toward population health management.

• Improved overall 5 year survival in several major cancer
types such as breast cancer or prostate cancer – cancer as
a chronic disease ?
• Improvements can be attributed to implementation of
• early detection/screening
• Introduction of new classes of anticancer drugs such
as TKIs or Immunotherapies
• advances in applications of radiation oncology
• minimal invasive therapies
• advanced imaging and molecular diagnostics
• modern supportive therapy to control side effects of
therapy
• centralization and specialization e.g. therapy in cancer
centers/multidisciplinary care
• improved access to therapy
• Education programs e.g. by Cancer Societies

Patient information: A 65-year-old female patient (94.1 kg) with lung carcinoma was evaluated for primary staging.
Clinical finding: Hypermetabolic primary tumor was visualized in the left lung base. Multiple glucose avid metastases were visualized in the mediastinal nodes, opposite lung, as well as upper- and mid-thoracic vertebrae and ribs. Please note the image quality, lesion contrast and low image noise in the 5-minute ultraHD•PET acquisition.
