Safety by the numbers …$17-$29 billion in added cost1

[1] IOM, “To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System”, 1999[2] Harvard study in NEJM, Nov 25 2010[3] CDC, Hospitalizations & Deaths Caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, U.S., 1999–2005, 2007.[4] NIH, “The impact of methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia on patient outcomes: mortality, length of stay, and hospital charges”, 2005[5] NIH, “Pressure ulcers, hospital complications, and disease severity: impact on hospital costs and length of stay.“, 1999.[6] “Hand Hygiene Noncompliance and the Cost of Hospital-AcquiredMethicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection”, infection control and hospital epidemiology, 2010

1% increase in hand hygiene compliance = $45K annual

Little or no change in the last 10 years2

100,000+ deaths per year1,3

Medical Error ranks as the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S.,

killing more people than breast cancer, motor vehicle accidents,

and AIDS combined

Impact of MRSA infection = 9 extra days, $26K4

Impact of pressure ulcer = 8 extra days, $29K5

Our customers face many challenges

Pre-Hosp/ER ICU/CCU PICU/NICU Gen WardOR/RR• Increasing # of

patients & acuity• Need faster

assessment for triage

• Need to manage multiple devices with various UI

• Interoperability of devices to ensure integrated patient information

• Patients are moved to Gen Wards sooner

• Early patient mobility

• Alarm fatigue for clinicians and patients

• Silent ICU concept becoming the norm

• Pediatric adverse events much higher than in adult pop

• Growing demand for Clinical Decision Support

• Staff shortage & lower level of education• Infections, errors, preventable deaths• “Data fog”... Too much information

Challenges and Opportunities“Health is something very difficult to quantify”

Caring for people is verydifferent, but analyticswith new technologyand emergingecosystemswill ... Efficiently move patients in, through and

out of care settings ... similar to the hospitality industry

Coordinate complex logistics to move assets for care delivery .... similar to transportation control

Accelerate Pharma discovery of bioscience breakthroughs defining personal care

Identify care treatments that work best for different individuals

Proactively manage chronic disease through new forms of patient reach and tele-health sensor data

Intent of helping patients who subjectively look at the whole experienceMany legal barriers to data, delivery, discovery and competitionIndirect alignment between decisions to consume and payDiverse data sets with gaps in interoperability and access
