Health IT is Big Business
• The global healthcare IT market is estimated to
reach $ 56.7 billion by 2017 from $40.4 billion in
2012 researchandmarkets.com 2013 Report on the Global
Healthcare IT Market - with Forecasts to 2017 (Report costs GBP 2923 !!)
• The global telemedicine market alone is
expected to reach $27.3 billion in 2016, from
$9.8 billion in 2010 & $11.6 billion in 2011,
representing 18.6% annual growth EC eHealth Action

Economic & social benefit
“Growth and growth enhancing policies are among
the top priorities of the EU policy agenda to
overcome… economic and societal challenges.
eHealth plays an important role in reaching this
objective”
2013 European Commission, DG SANCO. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23510978 )
But are the agendas for Growth & Health
perfectly compatible?

“Transformation”
Associazione Italiana Sistemi Informativi in Sanità
Valutazione del Valore derivante dall’utilizzo di ICT in Sanità
underpinning theme…
“eHealth has a pivotal role in enabling a radical e-transformation in the way in
which high quality integrated healthcare services are delivered”
Nicola Sturgeon,
Scottish Government. http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/Doc/357616/0120849.pdf
“mHealth is about distributing care beyond clinics and hospitals and
enabling new information-rich relationships between patients, clinicians
and caregivers to drive better decisions and behaviours” Rick Cnossen, Intel
http://www.ihealthbeat.org/features/2011/mhealth-closing-the-gap-between-promise-and-adoption.aspx#ixzz2TvzDCwn4
Shared knowledge platforms will result in a “horizontal alignment” of
patients and clinicians…

Cartwright et al (2013) Evaluation of patient reported
outcomes in the Whole System Demonstrator
“..Home telehealth as implemented in the Whole
Systems Demonstrator Evaluation was not
effective or efficacious compared with usual
care only…
Telehealth did not improve quality of
life or psychological outcomes “
“The QALY gain by patients using telehealth in
addition to usual care was similar to that by patients
receiving usual care only, and total costs associated
with the telehealth intervention were higher..

Testing the Value Proposition
Telehealth will save money
by supporting healthy living with LTC, keeping
the elderly out of hospital
• But what will it cost to implement?
• Is it the technology that makes the difference?
Telehealth will make money
•
by offering sellable benefits
But what type (e.g. choice, convenience, access, life
years, monetary savings), and to whom?
The market is willing to pay
•
which markets (provider, insurer, government, citizen,
patient, carer) and why?

•
What you think you’re buying (off-the-shelf solution)
may not be the same as what you’re actually getting
(opportunity to reconfigure your service)
• Need to ask:
• What process changes are needed to implement this
service?
• What is the real change agent?
• Likely costs vs. savings?
• Will early losses give way to long-term gains?
• Risks of vision-based (not evidence-based) procurement
• Sponsored evaluations typically last <6 mth
• Dilemma for modernisation

Results from trial:

outcomes
– Increased prescription of drugs in the actively monitored group.
– Clinician and nurse time (and cost) also increased
Interpretation:
– Telehealth made readings impossible for primary care staff to ignore, leading to
increased use of antihypertensives, but did not influence patient lifestyle

– Increase in self-efficacy and self-reported adherence
Qualitative:
– Patients actively sought interaction with a system designed mainly to ‘push’ messages
– Some believed the automated messages were coming from a human
– Soft benefits (e.g. self-efficacy) may add value downstream e.g. aiding transition to intensive
insulin therapy

Key messages from the literature
• Large gap between stated and proven benefits of eHealth
technologies. Evaluative evidence needed to guide investments
decisions Black AD, Car J, Pagliari C, Anandan C, Cresswell K, et al. (2011) The Impact of
eHealth on the Quality and Safety of Health Care: A Systematic Overview. PLoS Med 8(1):
• Barriers to deployment include limited large-scale evidence of costeffectiveness, lack of reimbursement models; high start-up costs.
•
European Commission eHealth Action Plan 2012-202
• Health IT cannot by itself improve health value, but it can make
possible new care delivery models to achieve much larger value.

Concluding thoughts
• Growth & health are imperfectly aligned as outcomes of
innovation. The ‘Field of Dreams’ hypothesis is risky
• Without better evidence current levels of spending on can’t
easily be justified
• Dilemma for modernization vs evidence cycles
• Creative paradigms needed to evaluate HIT programmes
while they happen
• Value creation and RoI can be hard to capture, as human &
technical systems interact
• Evaluation should take account of the citizen and not just
the health system
• The risks of not evaluating will grow as evidence-based
purchasing becomes the norm
