A portrait of our healthcare system There is no shortage of literature and studies that suggest our health system is not meeting the needs of those who need it most Investments have been made to implement a variety of strategies and programs to improve both the quality and efficiency of service delivery However, the solutions implemented have not addressed the overall health system pressures and dynamics at play in managing patient flow and care transitions As a result, the top 1% consumes 33% of all health-care dollars and the top 5% consumes two-thirds * “Ontarians regard health care as the single most important public policy issue; and they will not tolerate anything that causes deterioration in access and quality of care” – Drummond Report * Deb Matthews – Ontario Minister of Health and Long-Term Care

Understanding who is using our health system As a health system, a wealth of data exists to inform our improvement strategies Analysis typically has focused on examining service utilization data points such as patient volumes, patient demographics, diagnostic segmentation, and process metrics (e.g., wait times), instead of solutions that meet the specific requirements of high-needs patients The limitation of this traditional approach lies in the fact that those who use the health system the most frequently and have the greatest need are relatively small in number Our traditional approaches and lessons learned inform us that we need to leverage our hindsight to better manage the top 1% and 5% users Advanced data analytics can enable us to seek out these patient profiles to better understand how to manage these users of the health system

Segmenting patients and their healthcare consumption through the use of Advanced Data Analytics An illustrative example of patient emergency department (ED) consumption: There are 3 important segments of patient profiles that need to be properly managed: Group 1 – Infrequent users Group 2 – Frequent users (the Top 5%) Group 3 – the Top 1% – Proactively manage this group to prevent patients from becoming a frequent user of the ED; – Disrupt the cycle and transition these patients out of this group towards Group 1 – Manage the Top 1% by understanding who they are, what their needs are, and how to meet their needs Leveraging advanced data analytics to better manage patient profiles Patient flux – patient profiles are not static, which means patients easily move from group-to-group, and thus need to be actively managed, to prevent conversion from Group 1 to either Groups 2 or 3

6 Copyright © 2012 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Examining the Top 1% An illustrative example of patient emergency department (ED) consumption: A small proportion of patients (6.5% or 4,280 patients) are seen 3 or more times within a 1-year period by a hospital’s ED, consuming 25% of all ED time An even smaller proportion of patients (0.6% or 395 patients) visit the ED 6 times or more per year The patient profile of the frequent users are not merely represented by older patients; as such, patient needs should be assessed and commitment should be made to better manage these patients to shift them out of Group 3 and into Group 1 Group 3

Statistical analyses (e.g. profiling and segmentation) help organizations understand historical performance. Why did it happen? Advanced analysis, machine learning and modeling predict future performance. What could happen? Advanced Data Analytics

16 Copyright © 2012 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Foresight Case 1 – Heart Failure Solution shows the reasons for readmission and their relative effect Solution shows the history for this patient 83% propensity for readmission within 180 days Suggested intervention – Patient should be coached about their condition and management of their disease. Their family members should also be coached on how to take care of the patient. Active care management may be considered.

17 Copyright © 2012 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Foresight Case 2 – Complications from prior treatment Suggested intervention – Patient is at high risk of readmission due to complexity of illness. We suggest enrolling the patient into a care management program before discharge.

18 Copyright © 2012 Deloitte Development LLC. All rights reserved. Foresight Case 3 – Psychosis Suggested intervention – Patient has liver disease and electrolytic imbalance complicating psychosis. Given the young age of the patient, a care coordination program should be considered along with coaching the patient’s parents on specific care strategies.

Advanced Data Analytics combined with Care Management has improved the American health system Similar to the Canadian health system, in the United States, 10% of patients account for 70% of total health care expenditures* Medicare beneficiaries with 5 or more chronic conditions accounted for 76% of all Medicare expenditures Care management is a healthcare innovation that can reduce costs while enhancing quality for patients with complex health care needs * The New England Journal of Medicine Reduced patient odds of hospital admission by 24-40% Care Management Plus (Oregon Health & Science University) Guided Care (Johns Hopkins University) Reduced the number of hospital days by 24% and insurers’ net costs by 11% Frequent Users of Health Services Initiatives (The California Endowment and California HealthCare Foundation) 61% reduction in ED visits and 62 % decrease in inpatient days over two years Examples

Advanced Data Analytics has enabled much improved patient transitions in BC and QC Data analytics focused on identifying the frequent users of care has enabled more efficient patient transition, thereby reducing costs to the health system Following analysis of high needs patients in the Ste-Agathe region of Quebec; care models that were targeted to support the needs of the top 200 healthcare users were implemented Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (British Columbia) Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean (Quebec) To improve performance indicators and CTAS time at the emergency department Over a 3-year period, ED visits have been reduced from 760 to 212 visits; inpatient days by an equivalent of 9.4 beds; and hospital admissions from 514 to 88 Enabled the identification of various process bottlenecks, created fast track processes for CTAS 4 and 5, and improved overall patient flow Advanced Data Analytics
