U.S. Health Care Leads the World in Cost But Ranks 37th in Quality1 At 18% of GDP, the U.S. spends 3x more than the average country on health expenditures2 8 1 World Health Organization. World Health Report 2000, Health Systems: Improving Performance. http://www.who.int/whr/2000/media_centre/press_release/en/ 2 World Health Organization. World Health Statistics 2011. http://www.who.int/gho/publications/world_health_statistics/EN_WHS2011_Full.pdf $2.5 tn 18% of GDP


 

The U.S. Health Care Consumer is Blind as to Cost and Quality of Care... 9


 

...And So is the U.S. Health Care Supply Chain 10


 

To Date, Top Down Initiatives to Improve Cost and Quality Haven't Worked... Our government has launched a number of well-intentioned economic and technology-focused initiatives 11 ACOs P4P ANSI 5010 ICD-10 MU EHR Government Alphabet Soup PQRI


 

...Because Health Care Lacks the "Connective Tissue" Needed to Support Reform Our health care system remains highly inefficient ~50% of all orders are never matched to results* 12 = Putting the cart before the horse ACOs P4P ANSI 5010 ICD-10 MU EHR Government Alphabet Soup PQRI *athenahealth data, 2011.


 

Our Approach Removes the Barriers to Reform by Building Connective Tissue Replace isolated technology with use of the Internet Accelerate reform with an open market that incentivizes exchange and fuels innovation 13 * *Office of Inspector General (OIG) Advisory Opinion No. 11-18. Posted: December 7, 2011


 

athenahealth is a Company with Tremendous Purpose A health information backbone that helps health care work as it should Our Vision To be medical care givers' most trusted service Our Mission Being best in the world at getting medical care givers paid for doing the right thing Our "Hedgehog" Teachers and learners who play for the team with integrity, quality, respect for privacy, and initiative Our Code

Our Services Enable Clients to Profit by Doing the Right Thing 16 35% average improvement in client DAR 12% average improvement in collections Reduced administrative work 3.8% average increase in patient throughput 1,329 clinical documents processed on average per physician per month (PPM) Improved P4P revenue capture 16% average decline in no-show rates 121 patient interactions via portal per PPM Improved collection of patient payments Increased volume and revenue capture from patients and insurance companies Reduced administrative work for both sender and receiver


 

But We, Along with the Health Care Industry, Have a Long Way to Go There are still major gaps in care coordination ~50% of all orders are never matched to results* Doctors are still frustrated with EHRs Ours is nice, but it's not perfect 5-minute average documentation time, but large standard deviation It takes a long time to make progress We currently have ~330,000 innovation hours available per year versus 700,000+ hours requested 113% oversubscribed 17 *athenahealth data, 2011


 

Our 2011 Strategy was Organized Around Four Key Themes 18


 

Our 2012 Strategy Will Enable Us to More Aggressively Pursue Growth 19


 

athenaNation Re-org growth team to pursue Coordinate geographic strategy athenaNet Formally launch the athenaEcosystem, a community of collaborative companies Introduce transaction- based pricing option for care coordination on athenaClinicals athenaNation DIY gear budgets Core competence around Beautiful in our space / work / time management Fully-launch athenaCare athenaNet Launch athenaNet on iPhone and iPad Our 2012 Strategy Impacts All Stakeholders... athenaNation Expanded online community athenaNet Rules in all five stages Design five roles and their game layers Drain our client work "swamps" 20 JEDI BEAUTIFUL COORDINATE


 

...And It Will Help Us Build the Connective Tissue We All Need So Badly 21 A health care information marketplace... Where creators of information are rewarded for making that information useful to others... ...And facilitators of health information exchange like athenahealth are key enablers of success

We Hire Dreamers Who Can Learn Quickly and We Make Them Experts More than 65% of our employees come from outside of health care Rigorous-2 week training on all things athenahealth and health care foundation We need them to ramp quickly and then flex like mad 90+ classes available to support our 30% annual internal transfer and promotion rate Focused on scaling our training with 60% of our courses delivered virtually Coupling traditional training with real-time teaching and learning More than 2 dozen daily just-in-time collaboration forums, focused on issue prioritization, case studies, coordination and feedback 24


 

Next, We Plan to Expose Our People More Deeply to the Inside of Health Care We are donating our service offerings in non-traditional environments: Research Free clinics International health care delivery sites 25 Faith Family (free) clinic Regis College of Nursing eHealthpoint (India)


 

Growing at a Rapid Rate Means We Have to Better Coordinate Online community Enhance communication across geographies and teams Transparent ideation and prioritization Expand the definition of territory coordination Point Lookout in 2011 800+ athenistas were involved in development and connective tissue events 250+ external stakeholders learned about our plans, connected with athenistas and toured our Belfast facility 26


 

People & Process Establishes the Shell for the Community, but Ownership Must be Decentralized Enhance management accountability for the feeling of our work place Time management Team space reflective of values Talent management Instill more flexibility to allow athenistas to bring their "whole selves" to work "Gear" yourself Be in control of your career Keep re-thinking our physical environment Less personal space, more collaboration space Less institutional, more creative A more efficient, green environment 27

Presentation Break


 

Mary Kate Foley Beautiful Discussion VP, User Experience


 

To Us, Beautiful Is a Simple, Elegant Expression of Purpose Simple: Eliminate as much work as we can Design workflows that remain easy to learn and efficient to use Elegant: How the system looks should express how the system works Invite and compel Focus on the essential Purposeful: Everything should drive the user toward an outcome Direct both our work and users' work by utilizing data Guide users on best practices to accomplish goals Take advantage of concepts that make games successful Motivating goals, clear rules, responsive feedback 54


 

EHRs Lag Other Industries in Usability 55 Health care is inherently complex Translates into complex systems Make It Simple Eliminate work Redefine remaining work and zero in on best practices Expertise in user- centered design is low Customization often mistaken as means to improve usability Many EHRs concentrate on the wrong problems Overly-focused on physician documentation EHR complexity reinforced by consulting market Make It Elegant Apply design expertise Use proven feedback methods Be True to Purpose Optimize the exam for physicians Be the best in the world at getting medical care givers paid for doing the right thing


 

We Focus on Beautiful in Two Complementary Ways 56 Using the environment beautifully as it is Making the environment more beautiful


 

We Learn From Our Network...and Our Network Learns from Us 57 Improve what we have Prioritize improvements to athenaNet features, workflows Promote and train on existing features, practices Use what we have, well


 

We Work with Our Clients to Optimize the Operational Side of Clinical Care 58


 

We Can Assess Documentation Time by Specialty and ID Leaders and Laggards 59 Documentation Time by Specialty June 2011 Minutes


 

As a Result of Our Learning, We Develop a Point of View Founded on first-hand knowledge: ran our own practice Studied patient flow at medical practices using LEAN methodology CLINICAL STAGES Our lean mapping study drove the creation of the 5-stage clinical workflow


 

Overall, We've Identified These Basic EHR Best Practices Don't let work pile up from day to day Physicians should document patient exams in real-time Have the right people do the right work Clinical staff should perform intake, not physicians Staff should handle all of the documents they can Physicians should only handle the documents they must All should work to their level of certification 61


 

Doctors Who Created Order Sets Spent Less Time Diagnosing and Ordering Less Time Diagnosing and Ordering Less Time Diagnosing and Ordering 62 Median Elapsed Seconds in Assessment/Plan # User-specific order sets athenaCare is identifying accelerators and working to increase their use


 

Case Study: We Improved Quality of Diagnosis Search Results by 25% Tested potential solutions against 80,000+ actual athenaNet searches Released as a consumer app would: 'try before you buy' Most productive change: refined algorithm based on what other physicians in same specialty select after similar search...network learning! 63 Before Only 71% selected diagnoses were returned in first 5 search results After 89% selected diagnoses now appear in top 5 search results


 

We're Also Inspecting How Many Tasks Providers Have Open 64 Unsigned Clinical Encounters 28 % Clinical Results 31 % Orders 11 % Clinical Documents 19 % Snapshot of open inbox tasks for providers on 12/7/2011 Then we'll help them empty the buckets 28 %


 

Our iPhone Application Will Help Physicians Reduce Inbox Tasks 65 Support physicians with work outside of the office Elegant iPhone interactions Simplicity through user- centered techniques Currently in alpha test


 

We Will Use the iPad To Drive More Control into Documentation Cycle Time 66 Compelling, elegant screens Rules at every stage Create no more than 10 workflows

Rob Cosinuke Coordinate Discussion SVP, Chief Marketing Officer


 

Coordinate Means Working Together to Succeed at a Common Goal Realigning our growth teams to focus on winning in regional "care networks" Doing the hard work of care coordination within these networks Creating a sustainable business model to encourage successful care coordination 69


 

At Last Year's Investor Summit, I Outlined Three Key Growth Initiatives 70 1 2 3


 


 

We Invested More Heavily in Targeted, Regional Flywheel Campaigns... 72 72 Mail Invitations Phone Invitations Sales Team Coordination Channel Partners


 

...And We Armed Sales With More Responses, Leads and Meetings 73


 

These Efforts Also Helped Drive Increased National Physician Awareness 74 National Market Awareness of athenahealth Base: All Respondents National (1060) Q8: Which of these companies are you aware of? Q11: To the best of your knowledge, what products or services does athenahealth provide?


 

While Focused Regional "Flywheels" Drove Greater Regional Awareness and Lead Generation 75 Base: All Respondents National (1060) Flywheel (351) Q8: Which of these companies are you aware of? Q11: To the best of your knowledge, what products or services does athenahealth provide? Flywheel markets include Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Seattle, and Tampa/St. Petersburg


 

Given These Strong Results, We are Expanding Our Flywheels by 4x in 2012... 76


 

...And We Will Draw Inspiration from a Well-Known, Disruptive Innovator... 77


 

...From the Early 1500s ...From the Early 1500s 78

We'd Ramp Docs onto the Network Via Strong Benefits to Ordering Providers and Receivers 83 -


 

Furthermore, the OIG is On-Board! We will reduce the base fee for athenaClinicals We will make up the difference via fees per "closed loop" order paid by in-network receivers Revenue neutral to athenahealth Lower effective cost for the athenaClinicals client 84 * Among other reasons cited in the OIG Opinion finding that it would not impose regulatory sanctions in connection with the proposed arrangement.
