GRIDS, GEOMETRIES AND COLOR

The Leger mirror draws from artist Piet Mondrian's De Stijl abstractions that reduced the figurative world to grids, geometries and color. Mondrian believed he was creating a visual language that was modern, universal and spiritual for a world recovering from war. Grids became a foundational principle for every type of modern design. 

MODERN. UNIVERSAL. SPIRITUAL.

The mirror's gauzy antiquing and softly graphic lines form a friendly, all-over geometric pattern. The design begins as individually cut and hand beveled glass. Then, each element is mirror silvered and antiqued to mimic the natural aging process of vintage originals.

Each piece is hand set, which creates subtle variations in reflectivity. The smoky, fluid lines are desirably caused by dispersion of the antiquing process. Antiquing is naturally heavier at the edges.

WARMLY MODERN

Among the things we love most about these mirrors is the way they look with high modernism (International Style). De Stijl is a direct precursor, if slightly messier inspiration, for the International Style. These mirrors are a warm, gutsy way to take the chill off of too modern rooms. They layer-in beautifully with casual, bohemian mixes and give edge to traditional design.

CareSpan: How It Works

CareSpan® is a cloud-based clinic platform that works anywhere there is an Internet connection and a presenting clinician. The service comes with or without a complete complement of diagnostic Bluetooth bio-sensors that auto-upload exam data in real-time for distance diagnosis, primary care, specialty care and frictionless second opinions.

Time, distance and high-cost environments cease to drive the essentials of medicine. Now, providers can serve the underserved, the home-bound, scale a practice or simply drive practice value. Diagnostics include high-resolution video communications with digital patient data such as vital signs, images, biosensor diagnostics and electronic health records to the standards of an in-person exam.

US healthcare has a shortage of primary care physicians while the ACA added 32 million new patients. And, the number of office visits are increasing by 2% CAGR per year. We have an aging population with one or more chronic health conditions and many rural hospital closures. CareSpan helps. It is a platform to deliver basic and continuity of medical care to patients regardless of their physical location or time zone.

CareSpan meets Federation of State Medical Board guidelines and standards for care delivery. This means the CareSpan service is eligible for reimbursement by Medicare/Medicaid, private health insurance, and self-insured employer health plans.

Clinical and service practices with patients who need post-op monitoring, have chronic conditions (and especially elderly patients with more than one chronic condition) will see the most gains.

In the US chronic disease costs $1.4 trillion yearly. We spend 80% of this total on chronic patients. Better process management, more automation and appropriate clinical interventions could save billions. CareSpan lowers overall costs, which creates access to and continuity of care at scale.
 

Make the Business Case

Digital Transformation

Power-Up Patients, People and Profits

“As more people obtain access to better and cheaper digital technology, an inflection point is eventually reached, at which the benefits of providing digital services like banking and health care clearly outweigh the costs. Companies are then willing to make the investments required to build new systems, and customers are able to accept the transition costs of adopting new behaviors.”
-Bill Gates, The Optimist’s Timeline

We’re at Inflection When Robust, End-to-End Solutions are Available. The Inflection is Happening Now.

Why Now?

Technology has always been a great way to drive health, quality, productivity, coordination and revenue up while pushing costs down and waste out. Total solutions that coordinate care and help patients partner in their own wellness offer the greatest gains.

Clinical practices face new challenges in addition to normal pressures on costs, reimbursements, HR and profitability. Patient care is a big, fragmented family which has low concentration but very high rivalry. It is also an industry amidst huge changes. Now, everything needs to deliver value, help compete for patients and address consumer changes which seek a dimension of experience in every aspect of consumption.

Digital transformation is the best way to meet these challenges and offer new services that raise switching costs (attract new customers and make existing patients stick around). It is also the best way to drive up the value of what you deliver.

Konnect Patient's distance medicine technologies deliver convenient and robust patient monitoring tools, together with unique features that advantage your suite of care efforts. Our technology and tools are field tested, value-priced and ready for broad commercialization.

The Search for Value

Patients have changed. We’re all on a search for value, but we’re still willing to pay a little more for things we believe in. The old way of segmenting based purely on demographics doesn’t work anymore because Baby Boomers believe that old age begins around 80. You still have to deliver great, high value care. But, if age is a state of mind, providers will need to find more ways to identify, communicate and connect with patients other than on chronic or age-related illness.

Euromonitor says digital technology blurs age boundaries so that “consumer demand is less age specific than ever". In this environment, the best way to create differentiation from your direct competitors is making lifestyle appeals that engage the patient’s family and new patient-centered services. Wanda, CareSpan and Wanda + CareSpan let you make appeals based on attitudes, values and life stage in a robust, seamless way. Konnect Patient’s technologies can help any size clinic or practice.

Patients want clarity, transparency, accountability, simplicity, authenticity, durability, comfort, enrichment, familiarity, value and a dimension of experience. Of these, simplicity, transparency and experience-based services appear to be the most achievable. Patients and their families want reasonable, but not exhaustive engagement, presented with a little bit of lifestyle marketing sparkle. Konnect Patient’s technologies let your practice do these things.

Patients also search on social-impact dimensions and perceive high usage of technology by a company as eco-friendly. Wanda, CareSpan or Wanda + CareSpan could give your practice an edge, especially with younger families.

Fragmentation

Hospitals are concentrated in about 5,000 facilities, but non-hospital caregivers are highly fragmented in over 500,000 facilities. Many of these are individual operators. Technology enables lower-cost growth and also facilitates industry consolidation. One of the traditional success factors for non-hospital providers is the ability to quickly adopt new technology.

Providers need to raise customer switching costs, which are driven by selection, convenience, familiarity, habit, sector trust, price and overall value. Indicators suggest providers that don’t begin digital transformation may be in trouble soon on dimensions of revenue, expense, brand, operations, value and patient flows.

The Push for Change

Procedures and diagnostic testing have shifted from acute-care hospital settings to alternate care sites. Regulatory, technological, out-of-hospital cultural changes reinforced by pressure from Medicare, Medicaid and managed care companies aim to push care toward lower cost environments. The other change, of course, is the Affordable Care Act that punishes or rewards quality initiatives (examples: hospital readmission rates, medical homes, ACOs, payment models and hospital acquired infections) via Medicare reimbursements.

Clinical studies show that continuously monitoring chronic patients can help better manage their chronic conditions, improve quality of care and patient’s overall health thus reducing costs and hospitals re-admission penalties. The question for providers is changing from, “Why would I use technology?”, to “Why wouldn’t I use technology?”.

The Market

The biggest opportunities lie in serving Medicare and Medicaid patients (61%) even more so than privately insured patients (30%) or cash patients (3%). By 2024, tax-funded expenditures are expected to grow to 67.3 percent of the whole US healthcare spend.

Older, poorer, sicker patients need and use more health care services. The largest patient segment is likely to be female. She appreciates care that adapts to her and is likely to prefer non-English-language communications. Konnect Patient’s technologies help your practice meet her wherever she is.

Digital Health

Previously, digital health solutions were “walled gardens” that did not pass information vertically or horizontally. In other words, these solutions could not be integrated with other data inputs or outputs into EHRs. The current state of technology moves data from highly fragmented to highly integrated. Data transfer, integration and seamlessness are vital to long-term success. Wanda, CareSpan or Wanda + CareSpan are built for the digital health future.

Bill Gates continues, “In the long run, the results will be just as transformative as we hoped, if not more so.”

Gatekeeper Families

Pew research says that recent illness is a huge driver of treatment compliance and information seeking. Researching doctors or other health professionals is one of the most common health searches. And, over half of all health information searches are on behalf of someone else. More, most services now come with market expectations about social share-ability.

• 39% of U.S. adults provided care for a loved one in the past 12 months, which could include helping with personal needs, household chores, finances, or simply visiting to check-in.
• 36% of U.S. adults care for another adult or multiple adults.
• 8% of U.S. adults care for a child with a medical, behavioral, or other condition or disability.
• Caregivers are significantly more likely than other Internet users to say that their last search for health information was on behalf of someone else: 67% vs. 54%. Just 29% of online caregivers say their last search was solely focused on their own health or medical situation, compared with 40% of non-caregivers who go online for health information.
• Caregivers are more likely than other Internet users to read online reviews of drugs, clinicians, and medical facilities.
• 21% of online caregivers have consulted online rankings or reviews of doctors or other providers, compared with 13% of non-caregivers.
• 20% of online caregivers have consulted online rankings or reviews of hospitals or other medical facilities, compared with 12% of non-caregivers.
• 64% of caregivers track their own weight, diet, or exercise routine and 39% track their own health indicators or symptoms, like blood pressure, blood sugar, headaches, or sleep patterns.  31% of caregivers keep track of health indicators or symptoms for any of the people they care for (which represents 12% of U.S. adults).

These factors make families the new gatekeepers. To attract and retain patients, you have to engage the whole care team, including families. We help you do that.
