Prescriptive Analysis

Harnessing data for prevention and cure

Hans Rosling, M.D. - World Population

• 1961 – two worlds:
• Asia – lots of babies with low life expectancy.
• America – less babies with longer life expectancy.
• 2012 – one world:
• Now two babies per woman with a long life

expectancy.

• Proportion of old people is greater as there are less

children.

• Population growth in Asia and Africa.
• Stroke (Cerebrovascular Disease (CVA)) is replacing

AIDS as the “killer” in Africa.

• New opportunities – new challenges.

Siddhartha Mukherjee, M.D. - Cancer

• 50 years ago, cancer was one disease with one treatment.
• Chemotherapy was a non-specific treatment.
• 1950 to 2010 – War against Cancer.
• $5 billion investment in research.
• Under 55 years old, 25% reduction in mortality.
• Over 55 years old, slight increase in mortality.

Cancer Discovery

• Cancer can be a genetic disease (or a disease that is

caused by the distortion of cells).

• Cancers, in fact, are very personal.
• 2010 – launch of personalized medicine.
• Away from evidence-based medicine.
• From iterative treatments to transformative treatments.
• From larger and larger clinical trials to smaller and

smaller trials.

Political themes

• Changing nature of patient advocacy.
• Trials WITH patient; not ON patient.
• Research agenda set by the patient agenda.
• Change research funding from iterative to transformative.
• Data is rich and Complex BUT
• Genetic data is finite.

Disruptive Innovation

Bridging the Transition

Clayton M. Christensen

• Slide rule to pocket computer.
• All industries follow this pattern – decentralization

follows centralization – only starting in health care.

• Health care affordable – lower cost venues and lower cost

providers more accessible and sophisticated.

• Complex to simple.
• From intuitive trial and error (problem solving) to

problem pattern recognition to rules based world.

• Intuitive medicine to evidence-based medicine to

precision (personalized) medicine.

Sue Siegel

• Personalized medicine to precision medicine.
• Think of Watson on Jeopardy.
• Mapping genomes is becoming accessible and affordable.
• Three big changes coming in health care:

1. Ability to target therapy 2. Empowered and engaged consumer 3. Data driven medicine. How could we partner with technology to drive care in our LHIN?

Jamie Haywood

• Co-Founder of PatientsLikeMe.com
• 146,215 patients; 1,000 conditions
• Treatment, symptoms, journals.
• Social network – how to shorten time it takes to make a

difference to a single person.

• How accessible is our data?
• Is our data done by the individual person?

Does Washington Matter?

Don Berwick, M.D. and Malcolm Gladwell

Don Berwick, M.D.

• Patient self hemodialysis – 60% people – 50% reduction in

cost, significant reduction of complications.

• Outcome? Return to work.
• Nuka care:
• team based care for every person
• 50% decrease in ED visits
• 53% reduction in hospital admissions
• 20% reduction in primary care visits
• hospital cost increases since 2004 – 7%; other systems

40% increases.

• Health care wastes – over treatment, failure to coordinate

care, failure in care delivery (infection), excessive admin costs, excess health care prices.

• Total waste in the system – minimum 21%!!!!
• Types of improvement:
• decrease defect
• take costs out of production
• introduce new products and services (example at the

beginning)

• choose wisely (only do procedures which are

necessary).

Don Berwick (cont’d)

Don Berwick (cont’d)

• To achieve this:
• Put patient first.
• Protect the disadvantaged.
• Start at scale – NO TIME FOR SMALL TESTS OF

CHANGE.

• Act locally – only local environments can drive down

costs and improve quality.

Malcolm Gladwell

• Networks vs. hierarchies.
• Story of the p-valve at Toyota.
• Hierarchies could not respond this way.
• What if health care was more networked?
• What if data was more accessible (privacy not a core

value of a network).

• Hospitals need to move towards being empty.
• Turn the lights on transparency in all areas.
• Education is changing – the classroom is becoming the

place for 1:1 tutoring – everything else is online.

Challenge to all Health Care

Achieve the same quality at 50% of cost - technologically this is possible – everyone MUST move towards this! ~ Don Berwick Better Health, Better Care, Better Value

Bill Clinton, US President

“Sharing and co-operating seen as weakness”. “No one is going to be right all the time – even a broken clock is right twice a day”. “Need to remove disincentives to compromise”.

Mark Britnell Advice to LHINs

• Be bold – say what you mean and mean what you say.
• Find out the pressure points in the system, find alternative

provider and then commission the service.

• MUST have alternatives for commissioning to be

effective.

• MUST align with the consumer.
• LHIN creates the ‘what’ – provider creates the ‘how’.

Mark Britnell (cont’d)

• Providers don’t think they need to change.
• LHINs need to indicate that the game has changed.
• Integration challenges 100 year culture.
• Getting everyone around the table to integrate may not be

the answer.

• Must empower the integrator – General contractor – hires

subcontractors with a common goal in mind (building a building).

• Pick three to four target populations that you can impact.
• MUST demonstrate change.

Mark Britnell (cont’d)

• LHINs need to change from the funder to the commissioner.
• Funding – provide funds to HSPs.
• Purchasing – purchase service to address a need/pain (wait

times).

• Commissioning - STAND WITH THE PUBLIC:
• Understand population
• Design services around needs
• Set standards
• Hold people to account
• Integration is the means, NOT the ends.

Mark Britnell (cont’d)

• LHINs should be doing the customer satisfaction surveys

for providers.

• We must become indignant and outraged with bad care –

infections.

• We must link funding with quality care.
• Factor Drummond’s report into our future state.
• Bark like a big dog!
• Don’t wait for strategic direction – just get moving.
