Retail Healthcare: Where Does Telemedicine Fit?

EMTN Site Facilitator Retreat

August 14th, 2015

Health Care, Education and Research

Backdrop• Change is structural

– Concepts as basic as the patient / consumer value chain are being disrupted– Patient mix change – older, sicker, poorer is the direction / Commercial

Government• External events accelerating the pace of change

– Health plan mergers– The information and capital raising of Evolent, VillageMD, Privia

• “Disruption” that has characterized other sectors has arrived in healthcare, driven by the themes of retail, value and technology

• Emergence of whole new universe of companies highlights the direction we are heading, new categories of healthcare are being created

• New categories such as “value-based care” will be challenging to navigate, but are creating large untapped addressable markets

• Strategic Partnership will be a growing necessity – competitive landscape of the future will be characterized by diversified healthcare services companies, more vertical integration, a new level of scale, technology as a differentiator, different strengths defining competitors in the same category

- From Ravi Sachdev, Premier PACT 2015

Disruption defined…

• 20% of all medical spending is for 1% of the population (those who have chronic issues) 1

• This year, it is projected that there will be 6.8% increase in overall spending 1

• Increase in patients – 10/2013 – 12/2014 , 13.6 million newly insured patients, Medicaid expansion – more growth 1

• 44% of current full time physicians who plan to cut back hours, patients, services offered, or who plan to their practices leave for a non-clinical role 1

• By 2025, the Association of American Medical Colleges predicts a shortage of 130,600 physicians in the U.S 1

1 Forbes 2015


Disruption continued…

• Cancer treatment demand is expected to increase by 42% over the next decade which will create a shortage of 1,500 oncologists (IBM, 2015)

• Medical information will double every 73 days by the year 2020 (IBM, 2015)

• “I am not your patient, you are my doctor.”• Disruption is a reality – pace of change will accelerate.


Retail Healthcare

• Convenience, Access – Meeting consumer’s needs• Price Transparency – quality health care at lower prices• Takes a variety of forms – retail/urgent care clinics,

mobile health, home medical devices, wellness

Mobile Apps (22,330)• Patients = Consumers• Consumer Analytics = On-Demand Medicine


Retail Clinics• Medical services rendered in a retail setting – locations

such as Target, CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, Albertsons• First appearance on the market: 2000 (rapid growth

until 2007)• Care is often given by a PA or NP under the supervision

of an MD• Prices are set and listed• Easy and convenient with patients reporting high

satisfaction rates• Driven by consumer demand and fills gaps in the

market• Telemedicine evolution into retail market


Retail insights…

because of convenience of clinic hours• 55.9% access to walk in appointments• 48.1% convenience of locations• 38.7% lower costs• 24.6% no primary care doctor connection

Telemedicine Growth…

“The number of doctor-patient video consultations will nearly triple from 5.7 million in 2014 to over 16 million in 2015, and will exceed 130 million in 2018.”

Retail Medicine + Telemedicine = Opportunities

• Telemedicine collaborations are the logical next step (i.e. virtual care visits at retail clinics, remote monitoring)

• Support for retail clinic providers, primary care/medical home and staff through telemedicine venues

• Opportunities for more cost savings and exponential efficiencies

• Vertical market


Recap• Disruption is reality• Pace of change will accelerate• Must be prepared for non-traditional forms of competition• Must augment capabilities to meet the changing

demands of the environment• Large new addressable markets must be considered by

both “new” and “old” competitors• Embrace the new entrants, they can strategically

augment the business• Strategic partnerships will be a growing necessity
