From the Advisory Board’s 2014 Consumer Choice Survey. KP Now seeks to address the majority of these issues.
Park Nicollet (St. Louis Park, MN) has an online system in which the consumer completes a 5-minute online interview and a nurse reviews the results, makes a diagnosis, develops a treatment plan, and arranges for a prescription or referral, if necessary, within an hour, for a $25 fee.
Virtuwell.com offers people the ability to upload their questions about simple conditions and receive a treatment plan from a Nurse Practitioner within 30 minutes for $45. The patient may call the NP. Virtuwell has found an $88 reduction in average cost per case and 90% of cases resolved.
Midland Memorial Hospital has a 24-hour hotline staffed by triage nurses. The nurse uses clinical judgment plus an evidence-based algorithmic system. S/he prescribes an ED visit, urgent care, or office visit. Two-thirds of calls are redirected from the ED, which saves patients about $122 per incident. No additional funds were needed to pay the nurses due to decreased ED demand.
A substantial amount of research has been done on patient satisfaction in telemedicine and has found that it is higher than for in-person care. The leading reason for this is convenience.

South Bay’s Millennial Project is an example of this. SD’s HealthSpot & KC’s Care Corners are example of work and retail clinics. Fontana & PC have texting pilots.

14. Innovation = Adaptation
"Your future success is not dependent on what you have done in the past or are doing now, but rather on how you adapt what you are doing to a constantly changing environment,"
"Innovation in healthcare will happen. For you and your organization, that innovation will be either disruptive or adaptive. It's your choice."
