8 Healthcare Trends
2024

19
1. Value Based Care
● Shift from volume to value; long but steady journey
● CMS will continue to drive the trend toward value-based (VB) care.
● CMS will continue to drive the trend toward value-based care nationwide
through innovative alternative payment models driving VB care
● The # of MA enrollees covered by the 69 MA organizations (MAOs)
participating in the VBID Model in 2024 will increase by 47% in 2024 compared
to 2023.

20
What IS Value-based care (VBC)?
• TIES the amount health care providers earn to the results of the care
they deliver to patients, measured by quality, cost and equity
• INTENDS to correct the misaligned incentives of the U.S. fee-for-service
system and improve results from our high-cost health system
• AIMS (value-based care programs) to hold providers more accountable
for improving patient outcomes while granting flexibility in how to do it
• MEASURES value via cost, outcomes, experience (Triple Aim)

Source: Commonwealth Fund, “Value-based-care-what-it-us-why-its-needed”, Feb, 2023, Commonwealth Fund 21


Quintuple Aim- The Gold Standard for Value

22
What does VBC look Like?
doing more with less in primary care
home health
consumer technology
data and digital platforms
technology innovation
care coordination
improved utilization
alternative sites of care
broader set of decentralized but partnering providers and payers cost optimization
measures
value based payment models
23
2. Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI can streamline operations, accelerate research
discoveries, improve risk and disease identification, and
facilitate more informed clinical decisions.

24
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Applications:
● Drug development (boosting efficiency, precision, safety (NFX report))
● Reducing administrative costs (scheduling software, task optimization)
communication w/ patients, visit documentation, virtual health care assistants)
● Advanced data analysis: Organize unstructured data; recognize patterns from
massive volumes of data, predict future phenomenon, make brand new insights
(generative vs. content-based)
● Diagnostic imaging, genomics into data, early detection, personalized
diagnostics &. immunotherapies)

25
Surge in AI-Enabled, FDA Approved
Devices since 2015

26
3. Leveraging Data
● 97% of all hospital produced data goes unused each year.
● That’s changing as health ecosystems leverage data / AI
● Examples: (note: not ALL use AI!)
■ GE Healthcare & Vanderbilt University: Immunotherapy responses + genomic, tumor &
imaging data using AI powered apps → Treat
■ NASA style mission control command centers - Hospitals using to manage capacity,
safety, quality and wait-time issues
● Data interoperability is key (=the ability of two or more systems to exchange
health

27
4. Data Protection and Privacy
● Cyberware attacks doubled from 2016-2021
● Health systems getting more serious, policymakers getting tougher as biometric
and AI-driven tech grows fast and furious
● In 2023 Section 524B Amendment of the FD&C Act, ‘Ensuring Cybersecurity of
Devices’ happened*

*Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, The Path to Interoperability, 2013
28
5. Preventative Healthcare
● Heightened awareness of importance of early detection and lifestyle
management in reducing chronic disease risk.
● Technologies: wearable devices and mobile health apps will play crucial role
in monitoring

29
6. Shrinking Workforce
● 54% of healthcare / pharmaceutical employees exited the industry
between April 2020 and April 2022 (McKinsey)
● Clinicians cite poor emotional health and burnout as reasons

30
7. Digital Health
● Digital Health continues to expand
● Cuts costs for health care provider systems
● Telehealth Shifting to High Value Care (longitudinal data vs. 1-off visits)
● Care at Home: Urgent care, women’s health, virtual hospital, behavioral health
● Privacy Flags: Policies growing to support privacy
● Consumer facing tech products- ChatGTP, BingCo-pilot etc, will fuel digital
health innovations
● FOUNDERS: Who is YOUR customer?

31
8. Care at Home
● Primary care, urgent care, women’s health, behavioral health, weight loss
● In 2021 Kaiser Permanente and the Mayo Clinic had already estimated that 30%
of patients admitted to hospitals in the US had conditions eligible for in-home
care.
● Cost cutting incentive to reduce ER / hospital visits
● "The US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched the Acute
Hospital Care at Home waiver in 2021.
(Translation? Virtual hospital care is happening in 37+ states!)

“Healthcare delivery is following in the footsteps of the retail
industry, which was once brimming with massive
department stores and shopping malls, and which
gave way to consumer preferences for convenient
locations and digital shopping capabilities.”
(Price Waterhouse Coopers [PwC])

Providers are
Investing in
Digital!

35
Funding
● Funding all time low in 2023- likely to rise in 2024
● Companies w/ edge - positive data now emerging -high quality and improved
access from "robust clinical models with good unit economics and can scale"
(seeds planted 2021)
